I agree 100% with you now. I am shoving and calling all-ins with AK like there's no tomorrow. But I am not an advanced player and I usually play against opponents more skilled than myself, and shoving preflop with any strong hand is advantageous for me because it evens the field, skill doesn't matter anymore after the player goes all in. I was talking about Jason Mercier there, for him calling all ins with AK before flop and playing bingo with his opponents has negative expectation because it reduces him to their level. I am happy if I bust early in 2 tournaments and double up in the third, but I am an amateur playing freerolls, not a top pro. Let's say, hypothetically, I was playing a big tournament and sat at the same table with Jason Mercier, I would love to go all-in against his AK with virtually any type of hand, because playing small ball gives me no chance against a vastly superior player, but with pre-flop bingo I get to bust Jason Mercier out of the tournament 34% of the time if I have 72. Feel free to disagree and tell me why I might still be wrong, as I appreciate our conversation and I do not see it as some kind of opinion contest where one opinion wins and the other loses, the beauty of exchanging opinions is that we can both be right, both can be wrong, and anything in between and still benefit and learn from each other. Cheers to you, mate!
