My HUD wasn't showing on the table however in the replay I can see it. I did see that MP was fairly aggressive in the few hands I saw him with. BU was LAG again with only a few hands to go by. This was a Drunken Donk Freeroll.

I normally don't fold AKo however I was UTG with 2 in front of me and I missed the flop.

Would this be a good fold or should I have done something different?
MP: 10/40/4.00

I think the size of an open raise is too big at this stage. I would have reshoved preflop.

With AKo you have to re-shove their rather than calling basically a min-raise, you want to try to isolate the pot. Second, with 10k in the pot (Almost 15k after the re-raise) you only need about 25% equity to find a call. I would probably call their because almost every player in free-rolls will auto push all-in when pot > stack behind, plus you still have two over cards so as long as he doesn't have AA, KK, AT, KT, A4s, or A2s you have plenty of outs if you aren't already ahead.

I usually don't win AKo if the flop was missed. In the end the turn and river was :10c4: :jc4:

MP: :qd4: :as4:
BTN: :7c4: :7d4:

In the end i would have lost if I continued as the btn got a flush.

I argee with this. As played i think you have to call the flop bet. You will lose most of the time, but with the prize prize you get, you will win often enough to make it worthwhile.


My 2 cents

This. No point in trying to play conservative with AK with that stack size. You could easily have the better part of the equity in the hand and it helps to have the whole board instead of paying a discount for 3/5ths of it.

Agree with others, just shove preflop to 3bet.

1000 is a perfectly adequate raise here UTG, once the short stack goes all in we should then go all in ourselves to isolate that short stack!

I can't see MP having a really strong hand here as they've just flatted your raise in the first place.... think of it this way.... if you had a strong hand and seen UTG raise to 4x BB what would you do? I know personally I would see that 4x UTG as a pretty strong raise and I'd quite happily go all in here with my monsters having a very strong feeling that you won't be 4x'ing UTG and then folding to a reraise, so with that in mind since they've flatted your original raise at this stage of the game they can't be perceived as very strong therefore you should be re-jamming when it gets back to you to firstly isolate the shortstack and secondly make the "fish" pay a lot more to fish!!
