[Closed] 180 Man SnG AK

think I would push preflop , you got 14 BB and need a double-up

AK you want to see 5 cards and on this buy-in they play pretty loose anyway , if you think you pot commited anyway push it preflop but as general rule if preflop you are raising close to half your stack push it , but AK plays well over 5 cards & thats I push this

I think your stack is a little big to push preflop, but I do push this on the flop.

btw: I think AJ is a likely holding here.

The simplest solution would be pushing preflop.

As played fold turn, you get 4:1 (need 8:1) and I expect him to hold something here.

your stack is too big to push preflop.
you still have an M of 9 so pushing is a bit too wild.
true it is not easy to play the hand after the flop if you get a caller, but still your stack is a bit too big to push directly i think.

probably i would make the raise bigger, to 600 so you can easily shove on the flop no matter what because the pot is big enough then.

here you made the raise in a way it leaves you with a tough desission.

i dont like your contibet, because it criplles you totally if it fails.
so i would either check behind if he is passive, and push it all in if he is agressive.

against a passive player you can try to check the hand down, and against an agrssive player, i think if you shove on the flop you still have 2 times 6 outs and thats fine plus you have a lot of fold equity.

on the turn i dont think you can call. you have nothing and only one card to come with no draw.
