[Closed] AK preflop fold

but i dont like calling with AK in this spot.

Why?

You have already invested a substantial amount in the pot therefore you do not have to beat something often because the equation is different now. You have to be like 40% of the times good here or even less when it is a multiway all-in pot.

Since A:dK:d is top2% of your range in NLHE, with what other hands besides KK-AA will you shove here? QQ/JJ is effectively the same equity hand as AKs

So as played I would shove it in looking at the SHC it also says the same thing and I think it is handy to keep the SHC ready in case you do not know what to do

Ive run the most likely scenarios through the equilator, and im slightly below 2:1 against all likely ranges that dont contain AA. and getting 2,5:1 from the pot. Maybe im giving these players too much credit. But im still learning so thanks for the feedback. And be sure to let me know if im delerious with my numbers

How do you arrive at that conclusion that i need to be 40% good? I just wanna learn how to determine equity in multiway pots.

Maybe i should cut down on the amount of tables (8 atm) so i can focus more on these things. Just wanna get enough points to clear the bonus so i can relax and take my time. Takes a while to clear 1000Summit Points at these stakes.

Just a side note. When i saw that i was infact up against AA i felt a warm fuzzy feeling inside But i understand your point of it being unprofitable in the long run to fold here

Considering a heads-up situation:

You (20bb)
Villain (100bb)
SB (50bb)
BB (50bb)

You raises 4bb with A:dK:d, Villain reraises to 12bb, SB folds, BB folds.

So when he reraises you. He is never folding to a shove of yours. So virtually he raises you all-in to 20bb

So effectively your pot odds are: [20bb]+[1.5bb]+[4bb] against [16bb]. Mostly 1.5bb is the rake so effectively it is 24 against 16 or 1.5:1. Now 1/(1.5+1) = 0.4 or 40% exactly

equity win tie pots won pots tied
Hand 0: 42.806% 27.76% 15.05% 12834291 6955696.50 { AdKd }
Hand 1: 57.194% 42.15% 15.05% 19486524 6955696.50 { JJ+, AKs, AKo }

Since you have 43% and you need 40% , you win 3% more so it is +EV to shove here

In a mulitway pot of 3 you just add an extra 20bb into the equation. So you get [[24+20] // 16 => 2.75:1 => 1/3.75 = 26% equity
