Opp's stats 46/23/4.0 over very small sample size (13 hands). What's your move after the call and the min re-raise? Easy shove? Call and C-R AI any A/K flop?

PokerStars No-Limit Hold'em Tourney, Big Blind is t30 (8 handed) Poker-Stars Converter Tool from FlopTurnRiver.com

Hero (t1500)
CO (t1410)
Button (t1870)
SB (t2410)
BB (t450)
UTG (t3080)
UTG+1 (t1470)
MP1 (t1310)

Preflop: Hero is MP2 with K

, A

.
3 folds, Hero raises to t120, 1 fold, Button calls t120, SB raises to t210, 1 fold, Hero ????

I think I prefer a call and I like your plan (it just sucks if button comes over the top)

Do you hate a shove over here? With all the dead chips in the pot we have odds to flip against 22-QQ, and we have to include hands like AJ/AQ and maybe even KQ in this guy's range.

Shoving here is easy and very standard with those reads.

I don't hate a shove, jsut prefer a call when it's this cheap. We have no information on his reraising range, we can guess it's large but it's a pretty big guess when your stats are on 13 hands.

I like a call here more than a shove. It's a good price for calling and your shove is mostly getting called by pairs so the majority of the time you're flipping.

And c/r a/k flops is the best plan.
