5c/10c micro NL at royal.
I had AK MP1. 2 BB calleers. I raised to 50c. MP2 folds but MP3 goes AI for 1.75 over my bett. Folds around to me. Is call or fold right here?
I called and won, but I don't know if it was the right call.

What was the action like before this hand? Is there a reason to think MP3 may be on tilt or whatever? Whats your read on MP3, LAG, TAG, maniac?

looks like mp3 is short stacked and desperate (if stack sizes at that limit are 5$) i think he had any ace, possiblly jq or kq

I always call small all-ins with QQ, KK, AA, or AK. Most of the time it's 88 or AQs or just Axo. I play NL10 or NL20 btw..

The reason you call with AK here is because the range of hands will open up on short stack pushes, and you have them well covered anyway. You're ahead more often with less of a committment of your money. Always call here. Sometimes it will be AA or KK, but it's more often 10-12 other hands you have a good chance against.
On the contrary, if a tight player with a high stack pushes, then you're almost always behind and will gamble with a call.
When making a decision, never think "what if they have AA?". Always think "How often am I ahead here". This is especially true in cash game.

It's not what's inside that counts. Have you seen what's inside?
Internal organs. And they're getting uglier by the minute.

Do you not fear the coinflip?
Sure you dominate all Ax, Kx hands but I would have thought that it was more likely he is pushing a mid pp. Only dominated hands I can see him pushing are AK, AQ, AJ, AT and maybe A9, KQ. All the rest are flips and I didn't think I liked 50/50s in ring games.
The reason for my first post in this thread was that I would call if I thought he was tilting from a big loss in a previous hand or if he was a maniac.
I wouldn't consider 2.25 all that low stacked here either I played RVP for a while and lots of people used to buy in for like $2 and push their first pp or high A.
Also, if he has a low stack and a so so hand then why push against a raise? He can last another few orbits to find a better oppertunity.

Even if it's a coinflip vs any pair QQ or lower, AK has the right pot odds to call after his innitial raise.
Insta call.
