€5 6 max regular speed - AK facing heat

villain was lagtard running at 78/16

First hand of game he opened K8s from HJ for 4xbb. He doesn't like folding and was playing like a headless chicken.


In a cash game, I'm shoving this all day vs this sort of villain. I wouldn't flat call - I don't want to play the hand OOP and I would want to see 5 cards.

But this is level 1 of an SNG and I've only put 60 chips in the middle on a table of tards (2 other big fish at the table) whom I have an edge against.

If the blinds were higher, I'm never folding, but at 10/20, I don't want to take a coinflip yet right ? I think I can find a better spot?

Thoughts ?

    Preflop: Hero is MP with K A
    UTG folds, Hero raises to 60, CO folds, BTN raises to 280, 2 folds

    hero ?

    Why are you worried about getting it in vs some clown? Id happy go allin

    Btw in 6max you don't need to be as big of a favorite for early allins compared to 9mans. Even taking a straight flip isn't huge mistake if you are good with a pile of chips in front of you and can abuse well with it

    seems like the most standard 4bet shove in the world.

    you say you don't want to take a coinflip, but, well 1 you're almost always flipping or crushing him when he calls - and there is dead money in the pot - and... he can fold (and probably will a good % of the time).

    thinking about folding here to someone you call a lagtard is horrible.

    4bet >> calling >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> ????? >>>>>>>>>>>>> folding

    Do you have any 3-bet stats on him from previous games or this game? Lot of these lags that open light dont 3-bet light. So I'd still be a little concerned. If he's just a total drunk idiot putting no thought in to his game then ya ALL IN baby.
