    Legitimate question:

    We are in SB or BB with AK. UTG makes it 3x. Someone in middle position re-pops to a total of 8 BBs. When it gets to us, what is our move?

    Questions I ask in this situation:

    1) Does our stack size matter? How do we play it with 10 BB, 25 BB, 30 BB, etc.?
    2) When does it make sense to just open-fold?
    3) What's our optimal line?
    4) What if we all have the same amount of chips, or close to the same amount, say 30 BBs? Is our best move to shove, call, fold?

    One of the toughest spots I find myself in all the time. Was just curious if any MSMTT regs or HSMTT regs can weigh in their opinions.

    10 BBs is an automatic shove

    ofc it matters; u d better be posting a few specific ak scenarios 4 the best answers yeah 10 up to about 20 shove
    if reraiser is nit fold is fine with about 20 bb
    there s no optimal line; it s read dependant , stack and stage dependant
