You played the hand terribly preflop.

Your stack is 2,777 with blinds at 150/300. You have less than 10 BBs which means you should be either shoving/folding your hands, not limping in for 300 BBs and definitely not cold calling a raise with with less than 10 BBs.

The reason why you are in shove/fold mode with 10 BBs is because calling the BB or a raise is costing too much of your already short stack. Nor should you ever be just calling blind/a raise with the intent of folding. So, as a short stack, if your hand is good enough to limp in, call a raise, or raise/re-raise with, you should be shoving.

You call the raise of 600, leaving you with 2,177 behind. You have invested 22% of your stack in. A player then shoves for 1,164 more and you just call. Now, you have 1,013 of your 2,777 stack remaining. You have invested 64% of your stack preflop.

As a short stack, you should be shoving 10 BBs in already, but in any situation you think your hand is good enough to commit 50%+ of your stack, you should just get it in preflop. Especially if you have a shortish stack. So, if your stack is 20 BBs and you're in a situation where calling a raise + re-raise is costing you 60% of your stack, you should just shove as you shouldn't be calling off 12 BBs with the intent of folding 8 more.

The same applies your 3bet cold call. You're already starting off only 9 BBs and your 3bet call is costing you 6 BBs, so you have only 3 BBs behind. There is no point in leaving yourself 3 BBs behind when you only have 9 BBs to start.

Post flop, everything is standard. You aren't folding on that flop for 3 BBs more. But what was your plan if you missed the flop? Fold with 3 BBs behind? Actually, folding would be bad as you'd be getting a good price to hit an A or K. (You're getting 6.6:1 to call with a 3.15:1 chance to hit on turn or river).

Philthy pretty much covered it.

No reason to hoodflat AKo here off 9bbs even with the point structure in a league game. Just shove knowing you're miles ahead of the opener's range.


Once the opener overcalls, just shove the rest of your stack in! You're way committed by flat calling and the opener is never folding to your shove after calling the BB's shove.

Flop is standard, nh.

Well AK is a shove shortstacked preflop. You got lucky there that anther A did hit there. To me, poker is not about the winning when you are learning, it's about playing correct.
