AKs UTG vs passive SB

I wouldn't consider an 18/2 competent.

Defo open utg for more. I open ep 4x, mp 3.5x and lp 3x. If I know the blinds won't raise with anything but the goods I'll 2.5x or even min raise from the button.

I think raising the flop is right, otherwise we're giving great odds to any draws. We're way behind when sb shoves.

Don't post results.

Very good point but I still think his shove tells me he has the goods, would have to be a bit braindead otherwise - that's what's frustrating at the micros - you never know.

This is interesting and I will definitely consider it. Mr. Bucket said something similar too and it makes sense.

I am thinking this the more I mull this hand over, I think flatting and folding are vastly inferior options.

Do you count the fact that I folded as a result?

yes.

i fold here. You have a pretty limited read but your saying he's passive which means you don't call all ins with TPTK because all the hands he can have that you beat he doesnt shove.

if your read isnt good enough to back up this theory do you want to play for stacks with a single pair hand and no read?

Yeah, best explanation for why is here http://www.flopturnriver.com/pokerfo...ng-162741.html

Thanks for the interest in the operation but I slacked off on it before the DoJ took my right to play and it's been dead ever since. I do value any input or questions so posting in that thread may get me out of my slump and back to work on it.
