ALL OF THEM :x

I'm giving this a customary 2 seconds so it's not a snap call. Then I'm calling as fast as possible.

not a snap call...ALL THE CHIPS

why wait 2s here?

Why not?

because my life is precious and i don't enjoy wasting 2s needlessly or in that 2s you could dc and be fucked out of your equity.

How long did it take to type that out?

Any time spent berating ongabonga for the things he says is time well spent.

lol that was quite unanimous! So, AK is always all in preflop if there is a shove?

and whatever others that you can come up with - try to think about WHY you are making the play that you're planning to make.

"Always" includes a lot of things:
So, if you know that your opponent is ONLY going to pf shove with KK+ would you still call with AKo?
If you're playing deepstacks would you call a pf shove with AKo?

In this hand that you posted: even though the villain is unknown, you still have some info about him that makes a re-shove correct.

At these stakes, nearly always. I mean if you have some guy running at 10/8 and he's 3bet shoving 2% over a sample of 400+ then you can go ahead and fold, but this is a short stack with little over 30bb, he can have Ax 22+ and sometimes crap like 89s or whatever.

NO! God no. It's often a fold just facing a normal-sized 3b.
