How would you play it?

An email I got from that Poker Crusher website thingy that did the rounds a few weeks ago. Priceless imo.


How would you play Ace-King Suited facing a Raise and a Re-Raise?

Scenario:
Your first hand at a 10 player No Limit Table with blinds $1-$2. Player in early position opens the betting with a $5 raise. Player in middle position re-raises to $20. You are on the button holding ace-king suited. What do you do??

Information is Power:
Poker Crusher tells you that the first raiser is a Maniac that raises 20% of the time, which is extremely high. You look at his Recent Showdowns and see that he commonly raises with suited connectors and Ace anything. You figure his weak $5 raise is probably just a pot builder with a very average hand. Poker Crusher shows you that the 2nd raiser is a Shark and only re-raises 1% of the time. This immediately indicates that he has a premium hand. Furthermore, his showdown stats show that when he Re-Raises Pre-Flop, he wins 90% of his showdowns. You figure he probably has pocket Aces or Kings, so you fold your Ace-King.
The action goes back to the first raiser and he goes all-in for his remaining $50 and gets called. He turns over Ace-Ten suited and the 2nd player shows pocket Kings. The Kings hold up. Poker Crusher probably saved you $70 on this hand alone!

Scenarios like this happen all the time in online poker. Take advantage of the information Poker Crusher gives you to consistently make accurate reads on your opponents. Your profits will thank you!
Have fun, and good luck!
