This guy has stole my BB 3 times. Clearly this is a steal attempt or trying to get a call out of the short stacked SB. Thoughts? Push, Call ? What is the correct play here..


Party Poker
No Limit Holdem Tournament
Blinds: t100/t200
5 players
Converter

Pre-flop: (5 players) Hero is BB with A K
2 folds, Button raises to t500, SB folds, Hero raises all-in t1795.

Yes, push. Stack sizes would help, but regardless, pushing adds 25% to your stack most of the time here.

easy push, but dont be so quick to assume "oh, he's stealing my blinds again" if you felt like he would call you almost every time you pushed, a stop-and-go might be ok here. (call his raise and go all in on any flop)

Only Stop-n-Go if you have no fold equity preflop but you might have some on the flop. Again, stack sizes would help in determining this, but I think you have some here. Also, with AK you're at worst a coinflip if he calls (unless he has KK or AA obviously then you're screwed.) I still say push and hope for a loose call.

That's what I was trying to say right there, I just never got around to completing the thought.

I pushed and got called with J 10 os .. lol . Not my tourny I guess. I will fire another up .

Stack sizes shouldnt matter when I pushed in with less than 10 BB's. Not saying your wrong.. The fricken converter didnt convert it right. Nevertheless, I had the best hand going into this.

I do the same. You're a favorite a LOT of the time here, esspecially with your explanation of villian. And even if he does fold, then good, you're showing him "ok I am sick of this." Also, he might call with a weaker hand because he might think you are just doing it out of frustration.

Well I see he did call witha weak hand a won, tough luck, you'll beat 10J more times than not.
