Message: [QUOTE="marvinas, post: 1153631, member: 49957"] AK looks very nice, but remember - unless you hit, its only ace - high, and about 45 : 55 underdog to any lower pair. Final table is slightly different game, depending on how many paid places there are etc, but I believe AKo is a nice hand to push being a chip leader. On the other hand, if you had any read on him, you could just called initial bet and see the flop. After seeing nothing else but overcards (as I understand, he didn't hit a set), and if there were scary cards like Q, J, he could just check and then fold to your bet (depending on how much he had left). Deuces are only a small favorite to almost any hand (like 93 or J4), and a serious underdog to any other pocket pair. Also, if he fired a continuation bet, you could have folded after not hitting anything on the flop. But it looks like he was ready to go all the way with his hand, and so were you, so the final result would probably be the same anyway. [/QUOTE]
