marginal spot $109 AKo in SB
I'm trying to learn how to be a good tournament player at the moment for a change of pace (noramlly a NL cash game player)...
62 people left, 36 cash - tourney started with ~400. I don't really care about cashing all that much unless I get to the final table. blinds 400-800, 75 ante. I have an above avg. stack of ~25k. CO who barely covers me and is playing pretty tight opens to 3200. I have AKo in the SB (BB is playing tight with 12k chips). What's the play? Notes on CO: He is a calling station. I've seen him CC then call a squeeze with TT, AQ, etc. 1 round before, there was an early loose raiser and 3 callers (including him), and I pushed an M of about 7 w/ 46o from the BB. Everyone folded to this guy who called with AQs and I won the hand. Is this a good spot to call and see a flop as I don't really want a race situation? On the other hand, he may call me with AQ again or even something worse because of the hand before...

Because he made it 4BBs to go PF (not to mention your read on the guy), I think that makes this an easy shove PF.

Re: marginal spot $109 AKo in SB
i think because of the fact that a) you're oop b) he's a calling station c) AK often does not play well after flop... this is a shove

Open shove is less exploitable and not bad here.
I like 8K to go and jamming all flops too. Since you have seen him call off a bunch of chips w/ AQ a couple of times jamming is probably better. Regards, Woodguy

Re: marginal spot $109 AKo in SB
Thanks for responses. Just making sure... When I thought about it as I went to bed I realized I had to shove because his calling range was so redic.
In the heat of the battle, I thought he would have a pair and call me, which is what happened (he had 77). I lost. oh well... I'll try to participate in this forum more often now that I'm trying to make myself a better tourney player.
