    Default AK -Weak Laydown? (6.50)

    Meh...my reasoning is that a lot of weaker aces are in the shorties range to shove over here which isn't good if im in a 3way all in. If someone else had not shoved over i would have instantly called. Is my reasoning valid/good reason to lay this hand down here?

    PokerStars No-Limit Hold'em Tourney, Big Blind is t100 (8 handed) Poker-Stars Converter Tool from FlopTurnRiver.com (Format: FlopTurnRiver)

    CO (t3230)
    Button (t895)
    SB (t1630)
    BB (t1330)
    Hero (t1415)
    UTG+1 (t2195)
    MP1 (t1810)
    MP2 (t995)

    Preflop: Hero is UTG with K, A.
    Hero raises to t250, 4 folds, Button raises to t895, 1 fold, BB raises to t1330, Hero folds.

    IF i had like 1350 i would have openshoved. What do you guys thinking about shoving 13.5bbs opposed to standard raising?

    Fold seems OK unless you have a read that both of them are super LAGG. If they are both LAGG it wouldn't be unusual for you to be ahead of both of their hands.

    Re the question of whether to open push or standard raise, I would definitely push 13x BB here and maybe 13.5x, I think 14x and over is deep enough to standard raise but I wouldn't hate pushing this. Pushing with 15x BB and over is losing value IMO.

    hmmmmm gay spot. Im not sure what Id do here.
    Unless I could accurately assign a range of like QQ+ to one of the opponents then I would call.
    Just because tripling up here is so valuable and we are receiving pretty good odds to do so.
    I dont hate folding either, its real close imo.

    I think its close but I am calling it

    I think button range is wide, and I think BB can do it with 88+, AK/AQ

    i call

    I look to stats+start sharkscope and call in 3/4 times.
    I am just another learning player, so read my comments (very) open minded.

    If Button had just flat called I would probably shove over, but don't you guys think that a re-shove after an UTG raise and a short stack shove shows a lot of strength? As Detroit said, we are not in good shape if we're up against Ax or Kx and QQ or lower.
