    Default AK to a push 5-handed ($6.50)

    Opp is a 31/6. This was the second raise he made (the first was on Level 2 where he open pushed his 1300 stack from the SB into the BB with blinds at 15/30).

    Call or fold here? SNGPT says that it is -0.6% if opp pushes with 66+,ATs+,AJo+ and +0.7% if he pushes with 44+,A7s+,A9o+,KJs+. FWIW, blinds increase to 100/200 next hand.

    SB (t1540)
    Hero (t1860)

    Preflop: Hero is BB with A, K.
    2 folds, Button raises to t2405, 1 fold, Hero thinks about it and...and...and...

    ugh fold. Seems like he pushes all in with very good hands from you saying he made one raise which was an all in.

    Fold and push him around in other hands to get the chips back.
    Poker is easy, it's winning at poker that's hard.

    This is pretty clearly an even money proposition. Question is - are you likely to get better than that before you blind down?

    Hero is unable to push around this particular villian because he always acts after him unless he's in EP.

    I think the blinds are not quite big enough to make this an auto call. But your M is 8, and you are in 4th place out of 5.

    I'd fold, but I'd be pissed about doing it.

    Interestingly enough the 2+2 posters all thought this was a (marginal) call. They must have thought that button's raising range was significantly wider than I did.
