Can't Post About 500 people left (270 get paid) and I have a slightly below-average stack. In EP, I look down at AK suited and make a raise to 3xBB. Short-stack pushes from MP and someone in LP (who has me covered) comes over the top. What would you have done? No Karma

I would want to know what the blinds are, what your exact chip count is and what the avg stack is. If your "short stacked" and have less then 10bb, you never should have raised in the first place, you should have pushed. If you have 15bb or less, I would have called and gambled. If I had over 15bb, then I would need to see the answers to the above to decide for sure.

I would have raised more in the first place. I want to discourage callers with AK. I want one gambler with AJ to call. What level are we at? What's your M? This is probably a fold. I don't mind a race with the smallstack but against two, I'm not liking it so much. -- Dr Zen King of the wild pixels. http://gollyg.blogspot.com No Karma

You know, if the short stack was about 5.5K or more, I'd actually call this. You're only a huge dog to 2 hands. Odds are, there may be 1 ace out there. My best ballpark guess is that Dude 1 pushed in with AT or A9 suited, and your other horse has QQ or JJ. So I put you at about 35%, and you're about tripling up after blinds and antes if the short stack was 5.5K+. But if the short stack was really puny, you lay it down. This is a pot odds situation, and if the math works, you need to make a move while you're healthy. But if the math doesn't work, there are better spots. No Karma

Alex New User akaufmann@nyc.NOSPAM.rr.com Sep 14, 2006, 6:54 PM Post #9 of 9(116 views) Shortcut Re: What would YOU have done? [In reply to] Can't Post I folded. My thought process was that I couldn't put them both on pairs and I figured one or both of my outs were compromised. Short-stack turned over AQ and LP turned over AK. AK held up. Most of my table was shocked when I said I'd folded AK suited. Several of them said they wouldn't have been able to get away from that hand. No Karma
