Is this play ok? or is there a better way I should be playing my stack size in this spot? for example just open shove utg?

 

[joe777]

With your current stack size AK would be the appropriate hand to open shove even UTG.AK has the value of 15bb.Dont have to wait for better hand and got blinded.

 

[WiZZiM]

with antes UTG i think i just shove this in too. You can also raise to a large amount and get it in on any flop regardless, this gets us a little more value and lets fish spew chips more often.

 

[suby_rafael]

I think you did not have much stack left and so i think taking such a chance is alright but it would have been different story if both of you were deep.

The standard play here is to shove pre flop. But since you went for the small raise pre flop you cannot fold post flop, whatever the board so it kinda worked out perfectly for you in this spot.

I dont think the play is bad, but i would just open shove. It may keep you from making mistakes post flop

shove pre or limp shove

Just open shove, AK great pre, post we might have to fold certain boards so just jam.

 

[Jacki Burkhart]

there are lots of ways to play this one, but the main goal with any of them should be trying to get it in. Because of this, I'm more inclined to either just jam preflop and hope to win the blinds or take a race, or to bet a little bigger preflop which makes Cbet jamming the flop seem less strange.

 

[Debi]

I am getting it all in pre-flop every time in this spot. As played you pretty much have to shove the flop no matter what anyway. Not a horrible way to play it by any means - I just much prefer the all in pre-flop.

Nice hand though.

Preflop min raise its fine from UTG, because shove not very often people call 14bb.
Flop game shove vs lag , its profitable, because he have deep stack and i think mostly time he have nothing,,
