Good fold! Why risk your whole stack on what at BEST is a coin flip and at worst you are crushed. Most of the AK's value comes from being the last aggressor because you can win it by getting everyone to fold and if you do get called most of the time it's going to be a coin flip!!

Yeah u guys are right Shulman is a donk..........2 main event final tables in the same decade, 4 cashes in the 25k WPT buy in...over 3 million in tournament earnings..........you guys are fucking ridiculous

WOW WHAT A DONK
AKs is one of the best poker hands. Learn to play poker idiot!

FUCK all of you who criticise AK fold you all are mostly DONKS.
QQ is favourite against AK so it's a good fold deep stack, even though QQ is just a slight favourite.
Look at all these donks who can't fold AK in tournament and end up making retarded youtube comments in poker ahahahah IDIOT.
That's not the problem though, the problem is they dont even realise it.

He is 52% favourite againts that range, so its an easy call.
-
He can outplay most?.. Frankly speaking, I am not even sure how he is able to play profitable these days..

@KevinDorner In a turbo he would be snap calling

That fold was 100% good. The best thing he can expect is a coinflip. And often his opponent will have KK+. He would never 3bet all in with AJ or AQ. His range is much tighter, like JJ+ and AK. AKs is a very strong hand but calling that 3bet would be pure gambling, and against KK+ he will be in really rough shape.

Good thing Shulman wasn't pot committed. I've had AK suited and happened to come against QQ. As I'd shoved half of my stack before the other guy went all-in (which was 200 chips), I was pot committed and had to call. I was just lucky to hit a K on the flop and hold. Otherwise AK is only a drawing/shoving hand and is overplayed by alot of players
i love this fold. why play so deep into a main event to play coin flip poker, he can outplay most after the flop.

That's not a difficult fold.. with tamayo's stack size he's gonna shove AK, AQ, JJ+
best scenario AQ, the rest is a flip or worse
