AK facing shove and a call ($16 9-max turbo)

Results 1 to 6 of 6
  1. #1

    Default AK facing shove and a call ($16 9-max turbo)

    UTG is 34/21 and UTG+1 is 29/21

    UTG will have a wide range most of the time and UTG+1 should have a fairly tight one

    My main fear of calling here is being counterfeited by UTG's unpaired similar hands as mine, giving UTG+1 greater equity if he has a pair (although I will still have chips if I lose...)


    thoughts?


    PokerStars No-Limit Hold'em, 16 Tournament, 75/150 Blinds (8 handed) - Poker-Stars Converter Tool from FlopTurnRiver.com

    UTG (t850)
    UTG+1 (t1745)
    MP1 (t1005)
    MP2 (t1335)
    CO (t2460)
    Hero (Button) (t2770)
    SB (t1290)
    BB (t2045)

    Hero's M: 12.31

    Preflop: Hero is Button with ,
    UTG bets t850 (All-In), UTG+1 raises to t1745 (All-In), Hero ???

    I ran this in SNG Wiz with UTG shoving 22+, A2+, K5o+, K2s+, Q9o+, Q8s+, JTo and J9s and UTG+1 reshoving with 88+, AQo+ and ATs+ and calling was -1.0% EV here with Wiz recommending a shove range of JJ+.

    Thanks Tai yah I figured my reshoving range would be around QQ+.

    I think I would give UTG+1 a slightly tighter shoving range though, prob like 9-9+ AQo+ and AJs+ but that just makes my reshove even more -EV.

    Damn I need to invest in SNG WIZ!

    FWIW I folded and UtG showed and UTG+1 showed

    Both those hands are squarely within the ranges I used. You'd be patting yourself on the back for the fold if if one of them showed up with and the other !

    no I know Tai I was just putting that out there if you were curious to the results thats all

    I was pretty sure this was a fold from the get go, just wanted to be sure and perhaps create a thread where the thought behind AK wasn't ZOMG ALL IN

    I think AK and TT are borderline hands to call here, so I can see a fold.
    I would call if my stack was around 1200 or so I would have called
