microstakes sng

He raises 13xbb on 10/20 to 260 with 66 in MP, everyone folds to me in bb with AKo.

My usual line with donks like this is get it in pre with QQ+/AK, against better(tighter) players I'm playing AK/QQ more carefully.

I shove, he snapcalls, we race, I lose and bust out.

=/?

The only thing I can see doing is folding AKo here which seems horrible to me ;(

I don't like calling such a huge bet and missing 2/3 of the time, never getting paid if I hit unless he has the set....

How much BBs left?

There was probably a little variation but I'm talking both players 1,500 starting stacks and first blind level 10/20.

66 has AKo beat

Well you're never folding AKo vs someone who raises to 13bb with 66. You lost a flip. It happens. I think getting it in there was fine.

make it .like 540 and shove on the flop

always stack yourslef in microsngs with JJ+ and AK. it works, truestorybro.

sounds like a random rant b/c you lost a flip imho.

Okay, thanks guys.

Not a rant, just don't like flipping vs donks for no reason when I can get it in better...

Opinions on this sort of play?

My thoughts exactly... if you knew for a fact that he only makes this play with pairs wouldn't it be a fold every time?
