I'd call and play the hand accordingly. I can't fault you if you pushed over though...that's probably fine too.

[Stripclubjunkie]

I pushed...

[Rockymv]

yeah i think the blinds are just a little bit too small for that, even against the short stack. i could be wrong though.

[Stripclubjunkie]

If i call and dont hit it, and he pushes, what does hero do then?

[Rockymv]

fold? no reason to lose your stack on AKo this early.

Okay thx, i just call next time...

[Staresy]

I just call here. Thing is that, whlist AK generally prefers all 5, it could also work for you here just to see 3 and maybe force a better hand to fold if he sees a scary flop.

say, villian raises w/ 88-TT and flop comes X Q J or comes 3 s00ted to your A or K.

Even if it's you who folds the flop, you still have 1600+ chips at 30/60.
