$6.50 turbo, AKo UTG gets 3-bet

    Default $6.50 turbo, AKo UTG gets 3-bet

    Villain is 45/30 over 20ish hands, has never 3-bet in that sample and hasn't gotten to showdown.
    I don't do this often, but referring to Doc's rules for SnGs, folding seemed like the right thing to do. This guy is obviously loose but being UTG, he can't think I'm folding often here.

    at the 6.50's I'm shoving every time here. especially against 45/30 who will almost certainly 3 bet worse then AQ. + dead money there is no way I'm folding. folding AK happens more at or around bubble situations when ICM equities are affected more

    this is assuming he never folds to your 4 bet which i assume is the case.
    ICM equity

    fold = 18.32%
    Win = 28.87%
    Lose= 8.77%

    (18.32-8.77)/(28.87-8.77) 47.5...

    you need ~47.5% equity to shove assuming he calls everytime, and against Ajs+ AQ+ and 99+ its a shove, even if you go 1010+ AQ+ still a shove

    Wow, against a 45/30 I am pretty happily shoving over even if you haven't seen him 3-bet before. Fulksy has done the ICM already but against this player I'd expect to have more than 47.5% equity against his range.

    Well I'm not happy because I think the sizing is spooky, but he's a 45/30 and I don't have any rules for them, plus it might be worth it just to get him off your left. Is it a pot size raise? If so easy jam.

    His bet size is spooky and definitely looks like he wants a call or shove, but 45/30 donk could be doing that with AQ.
