Blinds were 800/400. I was in about 90th place out of 200. 50th and better made the money. Blinds increased every 8 minutes.
I had AK os in a freeroll in small blind and 7900 chips (less the 800 from being small blind, so 7100 or less than 9X BB and less than 8.5X BB after I get small blind. One person raised to 1600. Two others called before action got to me (all three had more chips than me). Pot was now 5,600. I pushed all in (reasoning that if everyone folded, I get 5,600 chips and unless someone has AA or KK I am not totally dominated. Also, I'd rather leave by busting out instead of getting blinded out).
Regardless of the outcome, was that an okay play? Or was the correct play in that situation to just call the 800?
