[Closed] AK early

I think the preflop call is fine. You have position on the raiser, we don't know what those after us will do. Top pair top kicker on the flop is good enough to get it all in and that's what I do on this board with 2 other players. You need to protect but a raise committs you, so shoving is the correct move. As played I would probably fold the turn too.

Zukes, shipping 1790 into a 480 +300 pot is colossal overplay of your hand.
You are getting no value from flushdraws there, and very often causing A-rag hands to fold. I would definitely raise, probably to 750 or something to make it seem to villain like he still has fold equity. This makes it 1500ish with 1040 behind, which is not IMPOSSIBLE to get away from and gives us protection. Obviously I am shipping it if he reraises.

Turn is kinda ugly but i'm definitely still happy getting it in. Obviously if we had K♦ its a snap call.

this is good.

pre flop is good.

the 780 is big enough to win right now, and when you get called you are often ahead.

you can also 3bet/call, just dont fold if you get flatted and the turn is scary once you 3bet for 1/2 your stack you can never fold (this is why shoving is simpler and the 'standard' play, it just creates less problems on further streets)

i would shove flop.

as played folding is fine, but snap call with K like ged said
