    Default Good time to fold AK?

    $22 / $10k guaranteed on stars. I doubled up 4 hands in and have been pretty aggressive ever since. UTG's range here is wider than you would expect and for some reason I wasn't really afraid of him. In fact, it turned out I was up against pretty much what I expected to be and considering that, should I have called here or not?



    PokerStars No-Limit Hold'em Tourney, Big Blind is t30 (9 handed)

    UTG (t1110)
    UTG+1 (t1440)
    MP1 (t1990)
    MP2 (t1580)
    MP3 (t1670)
    CO (t1320)
    Button (t1230)
    Hero (t3420)
    BB (t1530)

    Preflop: Hero is SB with , .
    UTG calls t30, 6 folds, Hero raises to t150, BB raises to t1530, UTG calls t1080 (All-In), Hero calls t1380.

    Flop: (t4170) , , (3 players, 1 all-in)

    Turn: (t4170) (3 players, 1 all-in)

    River: (t4170) (3 players, 1 all-in)

    Final Pot: t4170

    Results in white below:
    Hero has Ad Kh (high card, ace).
    BB has Ah Jh (flush, ace high).
    UTG has 4s 4d (three of a kind, fours).
    Outcome: BB wins t4170.
    I think I'm going to give up playing poker.........and take up repeatedly hitting myself in the nuts

    i like it, but only if UTG's range is as wide as you say. i'd be wary of him limping with aces, but from what you've said you're ahead here so much so it doesn't matter.

    you've got a good stack, even if you lose, so i call.
    For Free Money, Rakeback and some 6x Ongame bonuses, I recommend PokerSource.

    I recommend Cardrunners for superb poker coaching. It was honestly the single biggest improvement in my game signing up there! Sign-up fee might seem steep, but it pays itself back within weeks.
