What type of tournament is it ? How much is the buy-in ? Based only on the information you provided, I'd fold the AK. You're probably up against either a mid/high pair or another AK. Against that range you are basically a coin flip for your tournament life. In a free roll or low buy-in tournament, you might consider a call because there are a lot of players pushing with weaker broadway hands that you could have dominated (AQ, KQ, AJ). Still, calling for your tournament life with AK isn't generally the greatest idea.
I am snap calling in this position
I don't think BB would wake up a big hand like AA, KK, or QQ
QQ being the best case scenario for a classic clip
He might be jamming with AQ
so you are willing to coin flip on the first hand? maybe in a free roll but in a real tournament that you paid cash to get in ..... EASY FOLD. Tournaments are not won in the first hand or the early rounds.I am snap calling in this position

Hello, in my opinion this depends on the tournament.
But I think it's too early to do crazy things.

Yes man, the start of the tournament is a point where people are a little crazy, adrenaline is high because it is a time when all are paired in chips. Everyone wants to get ahead in that moment.Thank You all for yours suggestions and recommendations.
I am playing poker to win tournaments and I hate losing them.
I have asked You a question since I have lost one in a first-hand what was disappointing and confusing since It never happened to me (at first hand to be precise).
I agree it is a crazy thing to flip a coin at this stage. I thought however AK is a mighty hand (I have hit K on the flop but as I mentioned earlier somebody else has won with flush).
Now I know it is strong but later on, in a little bit different situations.
Still learning.
