$12/180 turbo, AK facing heat deep

Results 1 to 7 of 7
  1. #1

    Default $12/180 turbo, AK facing heat deep

    Over a small sample all I've gathered from these villains is that the Initial raiser is pretty damn loose (60/20), re-raiser is like 28/20. Just moved to this table recently.

    No Limit Holdem Tournament
    $11+$1
    8 players
    Converted at weaktight.com

    Stacks:
    UTG loossenup (14035)
    UTG+1 nubywood (10850)
    MP1 KUMIKOITO (9827)
    MP2 Mandibula (13405)
    CO riverfeverAA (8419)
    BTN BOWLINGNINJA (5259)
    SB b733592 (12435)
    BB Hero (13791)

    Blinds: 400/800 Ante 75

    Pre-flop: (1800, 8 players) Hero is BB
    loossenup raises to 1600, 1 fold, KUMIKOITO raises to 4800, 4 folds, Hero ...

    I would ship it, maybe the 3 bettor will fold, maybe they will both call with AQ

    Just for the sake of argument, what are we doing with TT/JJ here?

    I feel like I'm laying down AQ/TT here, jacks I'm really on the fence about, and QQ+ I'm happily shoving. I'm always happier shoving queens here than I am AK, but I'm generally ok with that one too.

    I dont know about you guys.. but i wont fold AKs on a turbo tournament with less than 20BB... i will make a shove there no matter what. There are other situations to fold AK, and i dont think this is one of them
