I guess I could have called and saw the ak flop and folded saving chips.Na, calling here is bad, it's either a push, or a fold, and with no reads, I'm pretty sure it's a shove.You can't call for half your stack, and fold an Axx flop when he's going to be c-betting JJ.If you get it in 3 ways, and they both have AK, this is a very good situation for you, and you'll win the hand a ton of the time.Also, by shoving, we potentially are getting it heads up vs the shortstack, who is in a lot more of a desperate situation that UTG+1, and could have a lot wider range.

Yahkin 0 Posted May 30, 2007 Share Posted May 30, 2007 Horrible!! You should have flopped a Q. :)Seriously, you played it fine. I would have done the same thing and then steamed cuz the Ace hit. Link to post Share on other sites
