Ok. So my friend got $20 for free from party poker because he had not played in forever. Then he got first in a sit and go then lost alot putting him at $22. Then he decided to play $50NL with his BR. His plan was to go all in, steal blinds, then change tables.

So now please view the first and only hand he played under this plan.

He is noPepinos.

for the record, reraising all in with AKo is a highly dumb move in a ring game.

I disagree. Sometimes you need to drop the hammer on someone and AK is a good hand to do that with. Are you worried about busting out?

He wanted to risk his 20 dollars to try and steal 3 dollars, with a preflop raiser that very well might call his all in and have him easily beat? Did I miss something here?

That is what I was wondering, as well. OK, so he pushed all-in with 64s and got lucky to hit his miracle flop to steal a pot from a stronger starting hand? Is stealing blinds with a dumb all in pre-flop raise a "strategy"?

Yes we know that raising all in pre-flop with 64s is a dumb strategy but he did not care to lose that money b/c it was free... it just happens that he got lucky. That's all.
