This is probably one of those scenarios where I am just open shoving AK. This is actually an unexploitable shove.

AK is probably the best hand at the table, but playing post flop can get tricky, especially against a stack that has you covered. Also, you are not folding to a 3 bet shove from anyone here, so with 15BB, I would rather open shove.

BTW, 2.5x or 3x does not matter too much anymore. Especially at this stage, it is usually better to make open raises with 2.5x rather than 3x, since you will most likely get the same amount of folds/calls from either amount. Also, as it is played, I would probably be shoving on the flop since your opponent's hand range includes AJ, AQ, K10, Q10, J10 which your fairing well against.

K thx.. I preferred open shoving AKo 15bb's too but some players say that you lose some value when doing so (I guess from the players that resteal aggressively and players that call with trashy to marginal hands to see a flop).. But you confirmed to me that open shoving has still more benefits in general (unexploitable shove + no more tricky postflop plays)..

I don't believe in open shoving anything with 15 BB's; I'm deep enough to make my normal open raise. Unexploitable is not equal to optimal.

As played, I shove the flop simply because most of the hands I'm losing to would probably go for a check raise.

I think shoving would be the best bet here. Playing post flop here would require extremely good reads on the opponents you are against. You have TPTK and I dont think you are up against too many two pairs. You have outs in making the second nut flush with a runner runner and have a draw to the nut straight if a club does not fall. You only need to be scared of AT, KQ, KJ, QJ, and T9 here.

Shove pre because of stack sizes - the short stacks will 3bet shove pre anyway. Your stack size is horrible to play post when you miss, c/f post is just nasty, and the big stack is big enough to call your shove with a pretty wide range.
