Lol, what was the point of posting this hand in the Tournament HA section if you're going to give out the result and say what you did?

This hand isn't even in question, call.

because I asked the opinion of others, that would they did this hand

He could have folded here if he put his opponent on a hand where he was racing. It wasn't worth risking 2/3 of your chips with a hand that is dominated most of the time.He only risked 7% of his stack with the 21K raise compared to 65% of his stack by making a call. He had good fold equity here.

I think your read on your opponent is the aspect that would choose wheter to call or not.

No decision here given it is a bounty tournament must call.

It's a snapcall given you have the bigger stack and bouty-equity. I probably call with 99-AQs. You must call tighter in a regular tournamnet where I wouldn't love but wouldn't hate the fold either.

Very easy call, and you also have more chips than him so you could win his bounty.

i think its an insta call. blinds are very high and you have a very strong preflop hand, so calling is the right choice in this spot.

Still not sure what point the tournament is in. Is this a final table?
What are reads on opponent and how has he played thus far?
You are in 3rd in chips at this time at the table. Your opp is shoving almost 30bbs? Thats a huge bet.
IMO you better have a good read on your opponent to make this call. It does help that its a bounty tournament, but I'm sure you can find better spots. Some of these players are getting short and you'll find better spots for knocking players out.

First you must add what is the stage of the tournament. Then do you have some read on him, was he playing a lot pre flop, did he made some other all in's like that.
Bounty factor is a big plus on calling, but it's not something that could force you to make instant call.

I say fold. Too big of a shove. If you had a strong pocket pair then of course, but nahh, fold.

Just call (like you did ) . AK is a strong hand , suited would be better . You call for 65% of your stack , you still have 16.5 BB or 5.8 M not bad at all . ( although you should have said how close to the FT you were , you were the final 100 or what ??)

"Too big of a shove" is not a reason to fold here. The fact that the villain in the hand reshoved 30bb completely caps his range, I'd take out KK+ and a lot of weight off QQ here. Villain is mostly likely jamming 88-JJ/AQ+ here, which we are well ahead of and should happily call off the shove.

That's cool. I'm still folding. Not suited, way too many people left in the table to go short stack immediately, and the final table is a marathon...not a sprint.

Very little information, what stage of the tournament? Also, if the blinds call, it is best to throw AK in multiway are bad

Seems it's in the middle of the tournament, doesn't it? How many players got left before the money? This is important info to check why the other player went all in. Also what are your observation on him? How often did he played hands and do you have a read on him about his preflop activities?

However without this info let's get into the numbers. You need to call 191 k for a pot of 253 k. So with a chance of a pair, excluding KK and AA, you've got a 42.5/57.5 or better. So there is value to call assuming that your opponents chances of having AA/KK are the same as Ax or something else.

However if your opponent is pretty tight and is not entering to much to see the flop, you may assume that he is just waiting monsters for preflop shove. But I am also mostly for a call, adding the bounty factor and the chance to eliminate another player.

Hello. From his stack Villian unk in BU can play 3bet AI here with about 10% range with: 66+, ATs+, KTs+, QTs+, JTs, AQo+, KQo. Your AKo with this range is 55% EQ and you win in this in 50% and split in 5%. Villian is 45% EQ and he win in 40% and split in 5%. You can play AI and this is OK. Your fold is also not bad in this. In this blinds for me better is preflop always about x2.2 to x2.5 BB and when semi FT and FT always maksimum x2.2 BB. I think that preflop x3 BB is not good in this blinds.

I think it's close, I don't know if I can fold this, but... Did you take notes on your villain? How often is he doing this with AT-AQ?

Look at the table. Shortstacks to your right, one shortstack and one sit out to your left. Your blinds aren't gonna be attacked much, plenty of stealing opportunities... Not to mention you're poised to have great payjumps from now since I assume you're really close to FT...

It's exploitable and weak but I fold. I'd rather call with TT than call with AK
