  2. This is a tough spot, but with the short stacks I don't think there's any other way this could have played out.
  3. It seems more and more players are smooth calling w/ AK after you raise early with AQ. So often, people would reraise AK like they're holding AA/KK that makes getting away from AQ easier.

    Very tough on that flop too, as you would see a lot of player ship 9 10 on that flop.

    im broke here
  5. Looks like a WAWB scenario, i've started mixing up my play by checking this flop despite maybe giving a free card up. It will usually get action from a worse A. (the button caller would be a possible victim)

    I don't think the action plays out any different, The AK bets, i C/R AI and he calls.

    But, to answer your question its a different way of playing it.
