Again, the decision is somewhat complicated by the low level buyin of the tournament.


The way I see it is you have two moves that are both decent options.

1. Fold - you don't lose anything, play another pot on your own terms.
2. Go all in yourself, the orginal raiser(dpani66) has you covered but I think it would be pretty likely that he would fold if you went all in, which means your really only betting 2805. So even if you lose to Gastritze66 you still have some chips to play with.

Personally, I like option two but option one isn't bad either.

I re-shove unless Dpain has been shown to mini-raise with big hands. With all the money already in the pot (antes, the limper, the mini-raise, and the SS push) and the strength you will be representing by 4-betting, its a very good opportunity to pick up some chips.

This is definetly jam or fold, I just don't know why I woudl jam here. I have a big hand, but I try not to overvalue AK. I jam anything TT-AA here, I don't hink AK is quite enough after a raise (min but I usually just assume they have no idea what they are doing when I see this and can have a huge range) and a re-raise. AK is good but after enoughaction I have to ask myself what I can beat.

I am not exactly in a desperate chip situation here. I think the fact that I have some chips allows me to wait for a better spot.

I'm not saying folding is terrible.

Also, imo, if your pushing TT but not AK in this position, thats a leak.

I would usually fold here in this spot. But considering what they had you were getting more than 3 to 1 in a coin flip situation. I would have called knowing what they had and hoped to hit and move onto win compared to just trying to stay alive.

<---- always overplays AK...

<------Rarely overplays AK...It's just a very good drawing hand.
