Just wanted to pick your brains on the following... After the fact I felt as if I should of just called pre-flop to make sure no A or K, then shove on the Flop. What are your thoughts? If I do it that way can Serge fold if he has only 2 cards to bink with...

re-shove pre

[dna4ever]

note to self ... when it folds to serge in the SB and serge raises your BB and you have A9o, do not reshove for like 72x's the BB cause he will snap call you with JJ and you will not suck out.

Definetely just call and push on the flop...

My call preflop is pretty standard..While I dont love having to call another $5000..I am getting more than 3-1 on the call...With AK suited i am only a huge dog against aces...However if you put in $5000 on the flop than i have to muck the hand..

Bad break

All depends on your situation, ability level, etc. SWA.

If you don't shove here, you are missing out on 5,000 chips (which is more than you stand to gain in the main pot with your limp) if AK misses flop and folds. If you can eliminate AA/KK from serge's range with his flat on the all-in, shove is right as you can squeeze him out X amount of the time, and the times he calls, excluding the AK you were up against, you are going to find yourself a favorite much of the time.

I guess that is what I thought. However like Max says, this way I only get your 2290 on the call of hoodini (assuming I shove after the flop and you fold,) where as the way I did it, I had a chance and was ahead on getting your whole stack...

I was just looking for some perspective on how others would play it..

[swa_nc]

I guess what was more disappointing is I was playing really well other then my empty 3 barrel shot against Serge earlier. Even if a K spiked I feel like I would of done well with only 5K left or whatever I had. I guess the conservative way to play it would be the Call, and the agressive play the Shove. Either way I don't blame Serge for the call with the AK suited, I would of done exactly the same.

GG All, See you next week on the tables.

Personally, I fold preflop because the all in is so ofter KK and the smooth call is so often aces which are looking for more action.
