No specific hand histories to go with this but twice tonight I ran into the following decision.
I was playing 50nl and I was getting deep enough to be happy with my play ($85 ish both times). Then a couple times in late position I open the pot w/ AK for 5x the bb only to have one of he blinds shove on me for approx one buyin. No real reads on either player. No poker tracker stats and they had only been around for a couple of orbits anyways. My image was probably pretty good w/ high aggression.
So now what?
a) Do I call? AK is one of the best starting hands right?
b) Do I fold? Again, AK is one of the best starting hands but it is still only Ace high pre-flop and pretty much a coin flip to ANY pair.
I know how I would've played it in the past but I think I may have been playing it poorly.
