  1. Is this bad or just standard and unlucky?

    I mean, I have a workable stack to take a shot at this thing... avg stack is 20k, I have ~13k...

    I just feel like a min raise on the button is usually a cheap blind steal...

    Should I have just flat called and saw a flop? I def can't 3bet, because he'll be shoving and I'll have to call anyways...

    I know its just a $2 - 90 man, so no need to say "gg, fire up another one" - I'll obv be doing that, but just want to see if my play is standard for future reference - No matter what the buy-in

    Thanks

    Give the guy a break. He's only posted 10 times, is playing a 2 dollar sng, and just wants to confirm if he's playing AK correctly in this spot. So save the sarcasm.

    True, were all tryin to learn here, but I mean this has to cross some kind of line doesnt it? I mean this is way way way way beyond standard. Play money donks know this is a shove all day everyday.
