$200/$400 No-Limit Hold'em (4 handed)

Known players:
BB = ($7800.00)
CO = ($2020.00)
BU = ($870.00)
SB (Hero) = ($2810.00)

Preflop: Hero is SB with Ac, Kh.
CO raises to $2,020.00(All-In), BU calls $870.00(All-In), Hero?

Definately. You crush Button's range and are little ahead of CO's range.

Different scenarios:

Your AK wins. (most likely)

You have 6000 chips.

CO beats you, button loses. (second likely)

You have 800 chips, have guaranteed at least 3rd place prize.

Button wins, CO loses. (3rd likely)

You have 3000 stack, are tied with Button. Co busts you made it past bubble.

You lose to both. ( most uncommon scenario)

You have 800 chips, your situation sucks but you are still in it and have few hands time to wait for best hand.

And this doesn't even take into account that BB can call as well and he can certainly call with many worse hands than your AK.

Wouldn't you think that talking about ranges you are ahead of the CO`s range and slightly ahead of Bu ranges? Because Bu has to call quite tight on the bubble.

I think calling is ok, because you can most likely beat at least one of them , and you make it ITM .


i call here because the blinds are so high and AKo definitely has enough equity against both ranges i think.

also the BU being AI before you makes it a pretty easy call for me.

if BU folds its pretty sick spot...

I think Cutoff is pushing tightly, after all he has the most to lose if he clashes with larger stack and there is short stack who is pretty desperate. If he pushes, there is very good chance shortstack will call him.

On other hand, Button is calling loosely because he is currently in last place anyways. He gets nice 1.8(?):1 odds to his current call (if blinds fold) so he can call here pretty loosely

I think both CO and BU have relatively tight ranges, but given stack sizes and since the shorty is in you have a pretty easy call with AK, which obv figures to be good here even against tighter ranges.


Yeah pretty much my thought. So I made the call.
Just for the record CO: AJo, BU:66 and the final board was a four card straight 789T..

Sweet. Third place.

EDIT: oops not even that, ITM and you still have chips. Nice.
