As the title suggests, what is your view on going all in with AK? Does it matter to you if it's suited or not?
Here's a couple of examples.
Early in tourney, you have 3000 chips and the blinds are 50/25. You are first to play and hold AKs. You raise 150. The next Three players fold and the fourth player raises all in, with 3000. Everyone else folds. What's your play?
Somewhat later on in the tourney, but still nowhere near the bubble, you have 30,000 chips and the blinds are 2000/1000 and the antes are 100. You are mid stacked on your table. Again you are first to play and raise to 5000 with AKs. Everyone else folds apart from the BB who raises all in with 35,000. What's your play?
I acknowledge there are other considerations such as relative playing styles of the players involved, their (and your) recent hand history and stuff such as your position relative to others in terms of chip stacks.
I've seen different outcomes to both of these scenarios and would appreciate your views on either or both.
Thanks
