I'm playing a live tournament with 178 runners and down to 145.

Blinds 300/600

MP raises to 1200
All fold.
I'm on the CO with A♦️K♦️ with 9900 chips.

What is the best way to play this hand?
Call, raise or shove?

why do you even post in the strategy forums?

shove OP. with a ~16 bb stack facing an open in this spot you should shove your entire playing range.

call, see QJx flop and fold happily, villain shows QQ or JJ and do a handstand on table / tap your shoulder on the back

Increase the wager to an amount that equals your remaining chip stack.

Get over it gregz. You should use your mod skills and close threads like these instead of posting warnings and that it's very standard. Or move to ssmtt or beginners. Maybe we'd get some content from good players if every thread wasn't about AK and 10bb.

I think we'd benefit more as a forum if we didn't discourage new posters from coming back. We all started somewhere, I'm sure all of us posted threads in our early days that if we looked at now would be found amusingly simple. Point is, we're all by and large, here to learn.

OP, default range in this spot I think is going to be 66+ ATs+ AJo+ KQ

sheesh, who'd want to be a mod here.

CICAK TAKE A FKG BREAK MAN. YOUR POSTS MAKE ME LAUGH AND U OBV HAVE A CLUE, BUT YOU ARE BEING A GRADE A1++ DBAG THIS WEEK. CHILL!!

And as for this thread, it's obviously a ++EV shove OP, so if you're not sure of other post flop options then just jam.
