Blind Play in the What Do You Do Series?

[mattaca]

(Edit: another thing - your opponent is going to outplay you on the flop no matter how well you play postflop - he has position, a 2.5-1 chip advantage, and betting impetus.)

Bob, you gotta have more confidence in your post-flop play.

Serves him right for playing AK like a donkey.

The math is definatly pointing at calling his raise. I'm amazed because I play extremly timid once I join a new table and don't have any reads. This hand changes alot of my views on blind stealing and such. I guess the min raise could be read as a blind steal, or it could be read as a I WANT ACTION. But then again I guess AK isnt neccessarily a hand you want aciton with, although I have been known to min raise AK / AKs late game to try and get action when I should just be playing my game and raising it 3x or what ever I raise during the stage of the tourney.

I would vote this thread for the best of forum.. but I may be getting ahead of myself... I'm pretty drunk hehe.

I missed this but I agree with your logic Miami, unless your up against AA a call is definately the right play. I call any 2 late stage against a min raise.

anyone pushing here and if so why? I am pushing if anyone cares
how deep is this? how many left till the money and whats the buy in?

edit: i haven't see the results nor have i read anyone's replies yet, including miami's math, but in general if you have an A you can't be that big of a dog with the odds you are given this hand unless you are up specifically vs AA.

It is very deep. It is in the money maybe 100 left out of 2300 in a 40k guaranteed.

I am not pushing here because I have no reads I just got moved to the table. if I remeber correctly this was my first hands at this table.

I only push Ax if AX is AQ or K or specifically the person mini raising my blinds has a history of blind stealing.
