    Default AKo,2 table,facing a 4xbb raise

    table just merged,but i played one hand against him on the previous table,where he called on a low board with 66 while i had JJ(i doubled up).
    should be an easy shove with the blinds that big?

    The difference between bubbling and ITM in these is usually 11% (compared to 20% in 1-tables)...so I think you can take spots like this whereas this might be questionable in a 1-table. Getting up to about 10k in chips is really gonna allow you to take control of the table. Its definetly not a spot I love, the raise is pretty suspicious when he doesnt shove over the UTG limp w/ 10bbs. But even against a pretty tight raise you have decent equity and theres gonna be 1000 chips plus the antes in dead money

    I would shove over

    Your read doesn't relate to the current action IMO. Due to the action in front, I would fold.

    I would be careful with this. Has the villain been shoving recently to pull back and throw in a standard raise or has he been relatively quiet?

    Normally I would say its an easy shove, but this raise signals to me that he wants a shove-over so he can get more chips in the middle. I do this occasionally when I am short stacked and pick up AA to try and lure another stack into the fray.

    If he has been pretty quiet and not shoving anything, i would go ahead and pull the trigger.
