Scenario: We are about 200 away from ITM with an average stack. I have just been moved to this table 5 hands ago so we have no reads.

UTG opens to 3x so we would assume he has a strong range. He leaves himself with 10BB behind after his raise so we can assume he is going all in on any flop.

So I shove AKo here and he calls.

Was this the correct play? What would you do differently and why?

Hi,

AK and likely AQ is too strong to fold, so standard shove pre-flop for value. You always have fold equity and as you saw you are quite often 70-30 favorite to worse hands

best regards,

AJ is quite close I think without reads, most of time I would fold AJo shove AJs

Cheers guys, I'd probably do the same here also.

88 AJs AQo seems reasonable for me

AJs seems a bit light here seeing as villain did 3x and it was UTG. Without further reads (or stats) I'm at 88+ AQ+ here. That being said, with reads/stats I would only ever be looser than 88+ AQ+

It transpired that villain was a huge fish in the end and was KO'ed a few hands later.
