    Default Final table: AKo on button facing reraise from deepstacked BB

    I've been very aggressive in the late stages of this tournament, as has the big blind. We've stayed out of each other's way for the most part, and we've both shown down some marginal hands (when called by shortstacks).


    PokerStars No-Limit Hold'em Tourney, Big Blind is t1200 (8 handed) Hand History Converter Tool from FlopTurnRiver.com (Format: FlopTurnRiver)

    Hero (t31535)
    SB (t72759)
    BB (t55253)
    UTG (t15354)
    UTG+1 (t16521)
    MP1 (t59658)
    MP2 (t10678)
    CO (t8242)

    Preflop: Hero is Button with A, K.
    5 folds, Hero raises to t6000, 1 fold, BB raises to t15600, Hero???























    Hero raises to t31460, BB calls t15860.

    Flop: (t63370) T, 4, 4 (2 players)

    Turn: (t63370) 3 (2 players)

    River: (t63370) J (2 players)

    Final Pot: t63370

    Results in white below:
    BB has Kc Kh (two pair, kings and fours).
    Hero has Ad Ks (one pair, fours).
    Outcome: BB wins t63370.

    This guy wants you to go all in. AK is a hard hand to get away from, but in a situation where he's betting half your chips, you don't really have the choice of calling. You either have to go all in or fold.

    I'd probably shove with this hand, too, but I wouldn't think for a second that it was a really good idea.

    If you often do things you don't "think for a second" are a good idea, you really need to work on your discipline.

    Pfft. Don't tell me that you haven't had a horrible feeling about calling a bet, but felt that you had to.

    I get my chips in so fast, he could be restealing with a very wide range especially if you've been aggressive plus it's the final table, you wanna win or move up one place? Gamble baby

    I would say fold. You only bet 6000 and the reraise shows a pocket pair and the size of the re-raise shows big pocket pair. Thats what I think.

    Wow, didn't even notice that you openraised to 5X the BB. That's overkill man, 3X is fine.

    you shove, it's unfortunate it happened like that.
    I had KK, guy reraises me mini bet, I put all in... he thinks, and thinks and thinks... AND CALLS WITH K-10o

    and wins the hand with a str8 A-10 leaving me shortstacked like crazy. 8 times BB. So I go all in with K-8 from small blind, guy has 5-6s and wins the hand with a str8 too. Same tournament. Putted me on mega tilt because I finished on the bubble
