    ick, i think he has a pocket pair and is probably going to call u here.

    THis is one of the situations where I want to sit down and run through ALL the possibilites and how thye affect my $EV.

    Keep in mind tho that the pot is now 1/3 of ur stack. Thats a big chunk.

    First put on your sunglasses, you're going to be involved in this hand. Next, hollywood like you don't know what you're going to do for around 10 seconds. Once done with that, calmly push your entire stack into the middle while saying in the deepest, most intimidating voice, "I'm allin."

    yeah very easy push, if he has a PP then you want to be all in pre flop b/c you want to see all 5 cards

    Hero pushes because ...

    1. you are out of position
    2. AK prefers to see all 5 rather than trying to hit just the flop .... and .....
    3. you can't really call off 1/4 of your stack only to fold
    4. villian calls w/ a pp < K and you are off to the races
    5. villian calls w/ AQ and you are 3:1 fave
    6. villian folds and you pick up 600 free chips
