| AK calling all-in?? I don't know if I played this correctly . . . full ring cash game at casino; new player has about $90 in front of him, I'm sitting in late position with $500 or so. He goes all-in pre-flop. I call. He shows a pair of red 9's. Flop, Turn and River are blanks for me. Did I play this right?? |

| I would have probably folded (I know that's probably easy for me to say without being in the situation). Without a made hand pre flop, unless you have a decent idea about your opponents range, I would say folding is the best play. |

My default range I'd assign is 99+, AK, AQs, so barring other info, I'd fold here. We're behind any pair, crushed by A-A, K-K, pushing v. AK, and ahead of AQs. Obviously Jilly, Duggs, and probably many others are assigning different ranges to the unknown relative short-stacker in situations like this. I'd be interested in knowing what range or types of ranges those who would call unknown villain's EP pre-flop shove put him on. Anyone? Also, why would you assign him a range we are ahead of (experience? instinct? etc. etc). Thanks, |

| I think you will be marginally behind most times that you call. I would rather give people credit when they first sit down and decide for myself after finding out information about them. If it turns out they are a maniac, I'm sure you'll have plenty more opportunities to win money against them in future hands. |

| Random moron nealy always doesn't have AA and KK in his range for this Range of 99-QQ,AQ+ it's an easy call. You need 49.2% equity you have 52.9% Start adding some AJ-A10 type hands, maybe KQ to take into account his retardness and it's a snap call. |

Thanks for the explaination. Being a nit I can't imagine open-shoving that wide, but I'm sure there are probably many that do. Just got to get out of my "nittiness" mode I guess. |

| I guess you kind of size up the opponent, there are the ones who only know the basics and sit down with whatever they have, i would probably give them a tighter range, but the pokie player who sits down and chucks a random amount of cash down i would assume is more spazzy. i dont really consider it a close decision almost ever with AK pre against unknown with that stack size. |

| re: AK calling all-in?? poker I just played a hand yesterday. I 3bet QQ two caller in. flop is low and very dry. I am pretty sure they missed. Turned out they shove their shortstack. they both have AK in their hands. I won a big pot. That just make me wonder should I shove with AK. It is underdog to any other pairs. |

Lots of factors to be considered, but in this spot as described, I'm usually calling this all day long. Villain looks like a spewtard. |

| Of cause no one will shove 22. But for example you shove AK, someone either will fold or if he call usually it is a pair. At least for me I will not call with AQ. Today someone shoved, I called with QQ. Not to my surprise he had AK. Quote:

| I just think people will mainly call shove with pp or something bigger than AQ. Maybe you are right. I need more sample to experience it. Quote:

KK+ = 12 combos But if we hold AK KK+ = 6combos The main thing AK gives us is fold equity, think of it as how we make money from straight flush draws. Our equity isn't going to be amazing but we're rarely going to be in really bad shape and the fold equity we get when we raise the shit out of everything is amazing. By the time someone shoves on us we often have to call as we have enough money in the pot from raising it up to dictate a call. |
