I can kick all of my friends asses anyways... nothin to worry about there, but hopefully i wont have any more moments of weakness such as these. I feel like a pussy for being such a bitch on those hands.

AK utg. Lets just throw out the fact that my image is Lag. This is a deffinate all in for me. Obviously it sucks that your UTG. The odds of AA or KK being out there is about 1/10ish? This is an oppertunity to build your stack while the table is tight.
Pushing all in opposed to 3.5bb raise is os that ppl dont call. You wanna take the pot, but dont want action

QQ. This is such a power hand. I go all in here. Im not really looking to cash for 30$, im trying to build my stack. Hopefull he will fold. At worst your facing 3 ugly hands.

actually, it is probably about 1 in 22ish or what ever the odds are of running into AA when you have KK. Since you have a AK that reduces the ways of making AA from 6 to 3.

so 1 in 22, for the AA and 1/22 for KK =1/11. tweak it b/c you have 1 king and 1 ace. you are correct, the chances of running into one of those mosters is even less. (plus at least you can suck out on the KK with your A)

the chance of each is reduced by 1/2. When you have AK there are as many ways to make AA + KK as there are ways to make AA when you have KK - so the odds should be the same.
