AK UTG, SB creates dead money - or is it?

Results 1 to 5 of 5

    Default AK UTG, SB creates dead money - or is it?

    The BTN is 26/14/7 so although he's obviously a bit passive, it's odd to see him sitting so short, 211 hands.

    He's not the consideration though - the SB I have zero hands on.

    Readless, jam or call?

    BTN: $2.92 (29.2 bb)
    SB: $14.35 (143.5 bb)
    BB: $9.73 (97.3 bb)
    Hero (UTG): $19.60 (196 bb)
    MP: $13.20 (132 bb)
    CO: $20.15 (201.5 bb)

    Preflop: Hero is UTG with K A
    Hero raises to $0.30, MP folds, CO calls $0.30, BTN raises to $2.92 and is all-in, SB calls $2.87, BB folds

    What was SB's timing?

    Super tank, or kinda quick.

    I'd prob be more worried about a long tank here, than something somewhat quickish. I don't think jamming is too bad here.

    If you did fold I hope you made a note on what they both had. As for what's best I've got no idea. Run some equity calculations with various realistic ranges with shoving. I think you can even model this quite successfully post flop too without too much trouble as the SPR will be just under 1.

    You are likely flipping vs most any range SB has, and you have little/no fold equity. What you do here just depends on your threshold for variance.

    Option #1 shove and take note

    Option #2 fold and take note

    Calling is really bad

    Pretty sure we have to jam here. The times SB is a fish and has AJ AQ KQ etc probably make this spot a little too good to pass up.
