How much % should the pot be in relation to our stack to make an open-shove optimal? I thought it was 20% or should it be sth like 15-20%? Yeah.. srr I can't remember where I got this info but I read it somewhere on a poker site/article/thread..

Hi all,

15% was what it was. So here there's 225 in the middle and your stack is 1310. Nice hand well played.


if there were raisers in front is this play different?

also, if it AKo does this advice still stand?

Against most villians I would shove over raises from normal players. If they are super tight/nitty then I might just flat ip but if op I would just shove.

If it goes raise and a flat then I would have to look at second persons calling % but when this happens it's even better reason to shove since you trap the raiser into a tough spot with flat caller behind and most of the time the flatter doesn't have too much.

At the low stakes AK is usually the nuts.
