AKos

$8.80 nl tourney on FT 48 players left, pays out top 18.

I was in 30th place I'm in BB. AKos $4750

Player in the cut off went all in for $1470

SBwent all in $5320

I folded

Cut off had A8os, SB hd Q9 os

Flop 2KK610 I would have won a nice pot

Did i do right by folding pre flop

I would of shoved it. At best you would of seen PP.. How were they playing loose, or tight???? Now if they were tight, or loose i would of shoved with AK..
You have to learn, to make calls. At this point they are just trying to stay in it, it is at this point to were you have to pick them off, to make it in the money..
It was a Real bad fold IMO.

I would have called.. Even if you loose against the player in the CO and you beat the player in the SB it is very profitable.. I would not give the SB a lot of credit for a hand here

c/o was an easy call, its the SB that poses a slight worry. Best case scenario is that he fancies his average hand against a desperate players all-in, so wants to single him out. Need a bit more history to tell if its as cut-and-dried as that though.
Really, your only worried about a high PP, and even so, your a coin flip at worst unless your against bullets.
Conclusion? Shove em in. A fold here shows a player attempting to limp into the cash, not make the final table. Play it to win.

It's rarely a big mistake to fold AK. Unless you're 150BB deep or something, AK is dominated so rarely that it's usually worth a call, especially against 2 players.

Oh and in a tournament, never fold AK preflop except in specific bubble/weird payout structure situations.
