($11) AKo out of position
Playing AK out of position is not always so easy for me.
PokerStars No-Limit Hold'em Tourney, Big Blind is t30 (9 handed) Hand History Converter Tool from FlopTurnRiver.com (Format: 2+2 Forums) MP3 (t1420) CO (t1885) Button (t1205) SB (t1340) BB (t1410) UTG (t1495) UTG+1 (t1400) MP1 (t1540) Hero (t1805) Preflop: Hero is MP2 with A[img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img], K[img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img]. <font color="#666666">3 folds</font>, <font color="#CC3333">Hero raises to t90</font>, MP3 calls t90, <font color="#CC3333">CO raises to t240</font>, <font color="#666666">3 folds</font>, Hero calls t150, MP3 folds. Correct to call t150 reraise with AKo OOP this early in the SNG? Flop: (t615) 9[img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img], 6[img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img], Q[img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img] <font color="#0000FF">(2 players)</font> Hero checks, <font color="#CC3333">CO bets t240</font>, Hero folds. What could CO be re-raising 240 preflop yet only bet 1/3 pot on the flop? I guessed that any Q or pocket-pair had me beat here but the smallish flop-bet seemed like he had pockets <= TT and was slightly scared of the Q on the flop. In either case, I think I am behind with my 6 outer and folded. Correct to C/F this flop?

Re: ($11) AKo out of position
i think you played it fine.
in the 11s, if a preflop raiser c-bets a decent amount and you missed with your AK, just fold it every time.

Re: ($11) AKo out of position
I'd shove or fold preflop, with a inkling towards folding, since it's only L2. Calling leaves open the possibility that MP3 could get out of line and reraise, and that would just be a mess.

Re: ($11) AKo out of position
Once you check and he bets, you have to fold. What about stop-n-go'ing here?

Re: ($11) AKo out of position
Checking the flop felt wrong at the time because it almost guaranteed that Villain would c-bet, which almost guaranteed that Hero would fold - which therefore raised the question of why call t150 pre-flop if Hero was just going to C/F anyway on the flop if an A/K or big-draw didn't materialize.

[/ QUOTE ] I think you played this fine for this stage of the SNG. I am sure an argument for a probe bet could also be made, however, I like the way you played it.

[/ QUOTE ] it could work but early vs weak opponents its just not that profitable when theres no huge all in bet that your threatening villain with. fwiw i completely agree with dano here. folding preflop or pushing are both reasonable at this level. as played, check/fold i guess is fine.
