You're probably ok to call readless in a 5.50. You'll see a dominated A, K, or a smaller pair enough to make this a profitable call. I let hud and/or sharkscope make the decision for me. If player is bad I call, if player is pretty solid I fold.

You have lots of hands dominated and are a coin flip in all but KK, AA. I like the call.

[RexWoo]

I'd raise 250 and probably fold here.

You'll have better opportunity coming, I think.

definitely calling this.

1) AK is ahead of most shoving ranges without solid reads at a 5.50.
2) you know hes capable of doing this with at least AQ, certainly making his range wide enough with 700+ in dead money in the pot to make this a relatively easy call.

[ryang]

call, you'll be ahead here usually.

I would call but...

The villian knows I have great hand. Higher pockets or AJ+. Due to this I don't see him pushing without QQ+, AK, or alcohol...
(or maybe this just defines the available talent at the $5.50 table which may push with any pockets or an ace...)

bingo....and evidence that hes capable of pushing worse hands with lots of overlay.

assuming he has anything...a lot of times you'll just see a reraise with aces or kings, otherwise youre flipping. I call in a heartbeat
