		<description>To orangepeeleo -

The first hand ... lets take it simpler.  I have AK suited on the button in a 6max game and my opponent is a 38/13. The squeeze there is the 100% right play.  Have I committed my stack at that point?  I think I am almost doing that.    In a 6max game shoving with AKs is very standard as you get looked up by worse ... especially by 38/13s.

He 4bets which is fine, and I&#039;m willing to get it in and do.  If he had flatted that bet OOP and checked to me, yes, I probably would have jammed the majority of flops.  Something like 9TJ monotone to a suit I didn&#039;t have I&#039;d just give up on.  As it is, the hand was pretty standard for us both.</description>

		<description>Have a great time in Vegas.  Can&#039;t wait for the drunk posts.  

Remember pics of Zach/Taylor with hookers could be worth a few $$ in your bank account if they really do want that stuff to stay in Vegas.  ;)</description>

		<description>Hey man, 

Been reading PNLHE and on the first hand, i was wondering, the commitment threshold there was $10 with $100 effective stacks (or is it $25?) when you 3bet pf had you decided then to commit?? With AK?? What if the guy had flatted and the board came down as it was?? I know that the issue of whether to commit changes on every street but b/c all the money ends up in PF there, like, pf in this case did u just think, im gonna 3bet here, if he raises i&#039;m pushing and if he flat calls i push a huge majority of flops if checked to??

Sorry if they&#039;re dumb questions but i&#039;m struggling with commitment and spr so im trying to think of every hand i look at with those points in mind lol

Thanks for any advice you can give on this, and gl in vegas, i hope everything goes well there as the general tone of your blog for a while was that of frustration and suckouts!</description>
