200NL 6max, AK pre-flop decision

[jii]

Button is 31/7, nothing that special by him. BB is a short stack donk.

Hero $300
...
Button $300
...
BB $80

Dealt to hero A[img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img]K[img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img]

Hero raises to $7, folded to button who calls.
BB pushes for $80, hero...?

I'm quite confident that BB does this with all sorts of crap, and HU I'm doing very well agains him. Is there ever need to raise, or do I just call?

you could shvoe but i see no problem with just smooth calling here, Button doesnt call with much maybe JJ+ and pushing only folds out the JJ as QQ i think calls this bet all day so yeah smooth call best here and evaluate on flop if Button calls which is going to happen a small percentage of the time

[absoludicrous]

I don't mind pushing here. We have FE, and aren't completely dominated if he calls. If you stand correct on your range of villain, you're no worse than a 60/40 here. You're probably more like a 65/35. The thing that bugs me though is you say you can see him pushing with all sorts of junk, yet he's 31/7...that's pretty damn passive preflop. I don't know how that translates into him pushing with a lot of junk, but w/e.

I like a push better than a call because of our FE, us not being in bad shape, and the fact that I hate calling off 25% of our stack hoping for a flop. I also like pushing because we can isolate...yeah, button probably isn't calling the push anyway...but I still like pushing vs calling.

Folding in an option too, we can alway play post flop poker againts this guy and stack him when we have a hand. Never a bad decision imo. Then again, if he's bad, stacking him isn't necessarily bad, because we can be fairly confident we'll take it back anyhow.

absoridiculous,

BB can push with crap, button is 31/7.

reshoveeee.

Just calling would be pretty bad, I think. Button almost never has AA/KK, and he's folding everything else. Get it HU.

[FGators]

This is a shove or a nitty fold. I hate the calling option. I really despise putting in 1/3 of my chips in a short game with AK.

I personally gamble it up here and yes there is FE.

[jii]

Thanks guys, just checking. The [censored] from the button called my shove with AA...

Shove it in.
