AKo 5bet shove pre flop against SB steal att

Hi DannyHorsley,
What are your alternatives?

[ ] Fold to steal raise
[ ] Flat call steal raise
[ ] 3Bet shove instead of 3x (his is playing <100 BB so seems unlikely to be a great player)
[ ] Fold to 4Bet
[ ] Flat call 4Bet
[ ] 5Bet smaller amount
[ ] 5Bet shove

We can eliminate all the folds I think -- with his steal frequency, and the strength of our hand we continue.
With his small stack size and steal frequency, we have to 3Bet

If you're going to get it in, it may as well be on the 3Bet but as played, I think the 5Bet shove is probably correct, since any smaller bet commits his entire stack.

That's just my opinion -- I'm really curious to see what others think.

Best of luck,
VS

Thanks for the feedback Vorpal. I think this highlights even further for me something that I've learnt today: planning.

Planning my hands and moves is something I never ever do. I want to start incorporating this into my game and thinking "if I'm going to get it all in anyway, why not just doing it now" for this example. Or in another hand history I posted today (JJ vs 3bet OOP), "if I am going to call a second barrel from villain, why not take the initiative myself and reraise OTF"

I've added the results for the hand posted. Feel free to read if you want to see. If you posted any further comments, please let me know if you've read the spoiler first ♦
