This is a couple days old.
Is this flat call justified? I'm against the other big stack and by his re-raise he is saying he is ready to get all in. Do i want to coinflip when it's 6 handed for my sng life? I know with AK i wanna see all 5 cards.....feedback?

[DetroitHusling101]

somethings wrong with the convertor because that's obviously not the final pot after those betting sequences lol but ok.

[badgers]

Wtf are you doing if you don't hit the flop?????

Shove/fold pre for sure, unless you want to try StopnGoing, but the stack sizes eally don't work for that.

Here's another...
I should of raised 500 pf due to the 2 limpers.

If you are using the 3xBB plus one for each limper then you SHOULD have raised to 600 preflop, but I would not want to put half of my stack in preflop so I would just PUSH this, yay!

One of the great things about having AK preflop in tournaments is that you can pretty much fearlessly push preflop in loads of situations when there is already a significant amount of money in the pot.

A good general rule is if you can add 15% or more to your stack by pushing and everyone folding then just push AK.

You don't want to be folding AK after putting half your stack in just because no A or K comes on the flop, this would be horrible.

[TwoKicker]

As for the hands with KT and A6 I would fold these both preflop, I would only play A6 in the CO if it is folded to me and I want to steal the blinds, which generally I don't want to do at this blind level and I would always fold KT UTG.
Furthermore I would also generally fold KQ, AT, KJ and maybe AJ UTG in this situation with these blinds.
Once you fold, what comes on the board is irrelevant to your preflop decision.

[taipan168]

OK, there are a lot of hands here:

1. First AK hand - as badgers said, shove or fold preflop. I almost always shove over here unless opp is the tightest player on earth (which is pretty much never at a $3.40).

2. Second AK hand - either shove over the re-raise or fold preflop depending on reads. Flat calling is no good here because you are OOP relative to the raiser. At a $27/60 against a solid opp I would probably fold; at a $3.40 I probably shove over and expect opp to quite often show me hands I dominate.

As played, why didn't you bet the flop? You flopped TPTK, a gutshot and a backdoor flush draw, I'd bet 400 here for sure.

3. Third AK hand - with three limpers in front and your stack at 14x BB, just shove preflop. There are 450 chips in the pot preflop (including the blinds) and which is almost 1/3 of your stack. Against that many opps, who are liable to limp/call your raise, don't frig about - what happens if two players call and you miss the flop (remember you only hit an A or K on the flop 32% of the time). If somebody is going to call you with a low-medium pocket pair you want to see all five cards!

4. KTo/A6o - you know both are good folds, don't be results oriented!

If you haven't read it already read Chardrian's sticky about AK
http://www.flopturnriver.com/phpBB2/...oker-31191.htm

Hand1: Raise a bit less preflop, 3xx will do. I agree it is a shove/fold situation preflop. The main problem here is that you and villian are the two big stacks, so it comes down to reads, in a vacuum I shove it

Hand2: I would probably shove preflop again

Hand3: Raise more preflop, as played you have position on the BB, what was his action on the flop ?

hand4: Whatever Tai said
