AK in SB
I’m playing a 180 man sit and go in online poker. The blinds are 100/200 and I have 2700. I have about 13 BBs. Now, I’m short, but there are many people shorter than me. I’m just conserving my chips for a shove or a good opportunity to steal blinds or even re-steal a late position opener.
In the small blind, I am dealt AK off-suit. The under-the-gun player limps for 200. A middle position player raises 3x to 600 and a big stack behind him calls the 600.
I don’t like the UTG limp very much. A lot of players aren’t bad enough to limp UTG with mediocre hands that they will fold to a raise. If they do this, they often are holding a strong poker hand that they are hoping to trap with. This usually means big pairs or hands they don’t mind playing out of position like AK.
The 3x raise doesn’t scare me much; he probably has a mediocre hand like KJ, KQ, A-rag. He’s trying to steal some blinds with a decent hand.
The flat call behind normally would signal a big hand, except that the guy had a big stack. He had around 10,000 chips and was most likely trying to accrue more chips by splashing around in nice sized pots were people are likely to put their stacks in jeopardy.
The flop ships a queen and I’m out middle of the heat. Remember this when you’re at the casino.
