Right Time To Shove AK?
PokerStars No-Limit Hold'em Tourney, Big Blind is t200 (8 handed) internettexasholdem.com
saw flop|<font color="#C00000">saw showdown</font> MP1 (t4805) <font color="#C00000">MP2 (t4005)</font> CO (t9615) Button (t3555) <font color="#C00000">SB (t13160)</font> <font color="#C00000">Hero (t3490)</font> UTG (t8660) UTG+1 (t2490) Preflop: Hero is BB with K[img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img], A[img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img]. <font color="#666666">3 folds</font>, <font color="#CC3333">MP2 raises to t600</font>, <font color="#666666">2 folds</font>, SB calls t500, <font color="#CC3333">Hero raises to t3490</font>, $20 buy-in. Pushing OOP with AK against a raiser and a caller is a move I haven't made much but figured to try it when the opportunity came up. Does this qualify as a good time? With 15BB, the blinds are creeping up, so I don't want to sit back too much but should I be worried about the big stack making a loose call with something like a small pair? |

Re: Right Time To Shove AK?
Very easy shove, your ahead of both their ranges, you've got a nice sized stack to shove and have some FE against small pairs, and if you pick up this pot it's a significant chunk. And if you get called, by a pair, there'll be enough dead money in there for you to be happyish anyway.

Shove it for sure.
Yes you must be worried about big stack making a loose call with something like mid pair because a lot of players knows after readin Harrington Vol II what is squeeze and always put you on than exact 62o from the Dan's example of a squeeze play. But the pot is so big and you hand is good, and your stack is small enough to make it a very fast push |
