It depends on blinds, chip stacks/depth, structure, table dybamics etc. Usually you are flipping for stacks, but can sometimes be dominated by AA/KK. Also, im always getting it in with 20bbs or less with AK if that helps... Never folding when that short. But if its early in a tourney or you're deep in a cash game, just standard open preflop and play from there.
When are you folding it?

Since you quoted my post and alerted me personally, I'll answer your question...
Let's say we're 200bbs deep in a 2-5$ cash game... EP opens to $15, I 3 bet to $45( with AK), button 4 bets to $135 and bb(nit) 5bet jams all in(has me covered)... i think that's a perfect scenario when to think about folding AK( bc you're now a flip at best and you arent getting correct pot odds to stack off). There's other spots too, if you need me to explain.
Also, If you read my initial post thoroughly, i said " Deep in a cash game" or "Early in a tourney" depending on stakes, pot odds and dynamics etc.. if it's a table full of nits, I'd be more inclined to fold, vice versa. So, that would answer your question there
Dealio96: Pretty solid advice from a skilled player to a open ended question...I couldn't have said it better. OP: Your gut is telling you not to over-value what is essentially a drawing hand--a great drawing hand--but still a drawing hand. Buuuuut, when you are short stacked....

This is a tournament thread silly......
Always when i have AK and somebody push allin i dont know what to do
3 way allin or more is ok to call with Aces?
Where this dot where AK better fold?
I tired to leave tournaments with AK ^(
AK is not a guarantee that 100% can win the hand, although they are good cards but they are not invincible
:deal:

...and so all conversation must be restricted to tournaments only? Is your goal to alienate anyone who is trying to help you? Or are you just being cheeky? You did ask "when are you folding it?"...which to me invites some scenarios.

I was just asking questions to a respected member of the community as it were pertaining to this thread. Not trying to alienate anyone my friend.
I obviously have problems in this scenario and was mainly just asking for some insight. You got any?
