The scenario: MTT, starting chips 1500. You've played tight, been dealt mainly trash hands, tried to see a few flops cheaply, but missed them. Tried a couple of bluffs but they have not paid off. The blinds are now 25/50 and your stack is down to 1250.
Up pops Ac Ks and you're under the gun. You bet 3 x the big blind (150 chips). It's a full table of 10 players. Two others call your bet and the big blind does too.
Pot is 625. Flop comes Qh 10h 4d. Big blind checks. You want to show strength and put in a pot-sized continuation bet - 625. Two other players fold, but the big blind then raises your bet to 900.
Pot is now 2150 and you have 475 chips left. What do you do?
Fold and you've lost most of your stack to what might be a pretty cute bluff.
Call and the next card could pay you off big time - or you could find yourself committed to going all-in with ace high.
Don't you just love AK?
