$16 - AK vs unknown BE player

[pdiggz]

If you think that UTG is raising with AJ/AQ, then the hand was played very well by OP. UTG has to be pretty bad to make this play with AJ/AQ (which might very well be the case). Otherwise, you will be in a race against a good PP most of the time. I think its too early to race. If this was the 50/100 level, then the hand plays itself.

How is this, calling>shoving>raising to t450?

As for pos EV, with AK it will pretty much always be close, and therefore never bad to stack off with it. But, that doesn't make it the correct play.

I'm still learning, maybe I'm way off here. That's why I'm here, too.

EV isn't really close here.
