well I don't call 3bet shoves with AKo even AKs its a weak hand in my opinion for such play.

A know that a lot of guys loves the AK, he is good when the tournament is running for a good time and you and most of the other plays are with 10-15bb now I recognize the power of AK that will dominate any Ax that everybody shoves.

so my conclusion is that you should not call a 3bet shove with yours AK so deep in the tournament. you second shove was even worst because you already know what kind of range the villain do a 3bet shove.

The first 3 bet shove I agree with half halfheartedly, as I didn't explain that the guy had been playing loose previously. (sorry that was need to know info). However the odds of the same person getting a second monster in a row is crazy numbers and felt I could get the chips back easily.

the odds to the same person gets a mounter after another is the same that you to get AKo consecutively, think about it.

even if he gets a 99 you would be in a coin flip, it really worth to be in a coin flip in that stage of the tournament? i don't think so
