Don't like shoving, don't like calling and can't even think about folding this hand.
Is this just one typical race i gotta take to go deep?


Look forward 2 your response !

Yeh, easy jam here really. This guy can't even knock us out, and we have to be ahead of his range here.

Don't get me wrong, but imo there's no need to insta-shove to gamble for half my stack and when i loose i'm down to only 15bb until the upcoming blind-raise,which puts me in an awful position,if i loose.of course shoving is definately an option,but in this comfortable spot w 30 bb behind i can get way better spots than flipping w ak...as i said:don't get me wrong, i'm just confused if stop-n-go is an alternative here... AM I TOTALLY WRONG??? :))

Shove and wouldn't be suprised to see villian fold a lot of the time. When he calls you're ahead of his range so shovings fine

Totally wrong, sorry :)

You seem to be 100% sure that AK is always flipping here, but that's just being results orientated. He raises AQ/AJ/AT suited here, which you crush. He likely calls a shove with the first one, and may do also with the 2nd one.

PAscal is totally right, this is a 100% easy shove and it doesn't matter that you lost this time it's the right decision

you gotta be aggressive as big stack, continuously doing this kinda thing when you have the nuts or not to induce folds, keeps others in line and makes the game soooo much easier.

Of course in times when you don't have AK and 3bet bluffing light or whatever you gotta pick ya spots. and if he calls hope you are 40-55 at best and rest is up to the cards.
