Okay. I got yelled at last night for my play on this hand but I think it was because I won the hand that the other person was upset.
Here's the scoop
NL Tournament, starting chips 1500.
Blinds are 40/80
My chips are 600
I get dealt AK suited in UTG2.
What would you do?
I went all in. Here's my reasoning. If I did a 3x BB I'm betting 240, I'm pretty certain that no matter what the flop is I'm going all in. If an ace is on the board I'm probably not getting called. Besides, it's getting to the point where I need a big score, doubling up would be good. Player to my left called, blinds folded.
In this example the player to my left called me with KK, an ace appeared on the flop and he was beat.
So, how bad did I play it? Or did I play it correctly?
