PokerStars - $3.16+$0.34|15/30 NL - Holdem - 8 players
Hand converted by PokerTracker 3

Hero (BB): 1,500.00
UTG: 1,490.00
UTG+1: 840.00 (vp67/pr17/hands_6)
MP: 1,550.00 (vp18/pr18/hands_11)
MP+1: 1,730.00
CO: 2,830.00
BTN: 2,130.00
SB: 1,430.00 (vp50/pr33/hands_6)

SB posts SB 15.00, Hero posts BB 30.00

Pre Flop: (45.00) Hero has A♦ K♦

fold, UTG+1 calls 30.00, MP raises to 105.00, fold, fold, fold, SB calls 90.00, Hero raises to 1,500.00 and is all-in, fold, MP raises to 1,550.00 and is all-in, fold

Flop: (3135.00, 2 players) A♠ K♣ K♠

Turn: (3135.00, 2 players) 3♥

River: (3135.00, 2 players) J♥

Hero shows A♦ K♦ (Full House, Kings full of Aces) (Pre 46%, Flop 100%, Turn 100%)
MP shows J♦ J♠ (Full House, Jacks full of Kings) (Pre 54%, Flop 0%, Turn 0%)
Hero wins 3,135.00

I`m not sure if I played the right way by putting pressure on unknowns, especially against this early iso raiser.. Is it best to just call and see the flop in this kind of situation? Just raising here is out of option, because in that case I`m committing myself to the pot anyway, so if raising than better just to push... CALL or PUSH, what`s better?

It's early in the tournament and you're likely to be flipping against his range - I prefer calling here with good implied odds and seeing a flop.

You are right that standard raise is out of the question here, but I agree with pyure that calling here is better. If you would have more history with MP guy and could see that his MP PFR is bit high, you could shove for value. I think that in this situation most of the time you are flipping or you are in really bad shape and that's never good in early stage of tournament. If you call and hit something you should try to get all money in the middle. If you miss, you can easily give up.

Hi all,

At these stakes I think we have a strong enough hand to get it in. Option is between 3betting and pushing all-in. I think if we 3bet, and our opponent goes all-in, we still have a profitable call against their range (albeit it's reasonably close as our opponents are quite tight with 4betting at these stakes). However our opponents will call with a lot of worse and domianted hands, so our best option is to reraise to something like 330.

Both calling and pushing all-in directly loses value.
