I dont want to play AK in a multi way pot, its just too easy to get beat so I re pop this pre flop, in fact I think I just ship it in there and then.

With so much dead money in the pot I push this preflop, the reraise by MP2 is very weak. Just push it in, if you win the blinds its a nice pot, no player is committed enough to call ur push unless they have a monster but I doubt any player would be stupid enough to slowplay a monster after so much action preflop. You might get a call with a medium PP which you have outs against, or a fish calling with ace rag which you are crushing!

I like it as played, although shoving preflop cant be bad either.

there is always a bigger fish

Hi all,

Shove preflop given the million dorrars of dead money here.
