Blinds: $1/$2
Question
You’ve been playing solid for the last hour or so in your aggressive online six-max game. You’ve won a few pots without showdown but your image is not super laggy. Everyone folds to you. You raise to $8 from the button. The small blind folds and the erratic big blind raises to $24.
What should you do?
Correct Answer: Raise all-in
The big blind, as noted, is erratic and this three-bet could be very wide. If you four-bet any size at all you are committed no matter what comes down anyway. So shove it all-in now – A-K is a hand that benefits from seeing all three streets. You are really only a big dog to AA, so get it in and hope for the best.
