"I sit" on the table I'm coming to AKo, the villain opens tribeto with the intention of going to the ground, but after the action of BB I was in doubt whether to go to the ground with 2 players.

I’m willing to get it all in with AK in this situation!

Sometimes it is not only possible, but necessary. There are a lot of very weak players on microlimits and it is much more profitable to play with them postflop.;)

with spins being short stacks I get it all in with A-K,a few hands down the line it would be the same,they always seem to end with any 2 hitting no matter what you have,mtt,s are a different story even sometimes in a freeroll.

it was a fold for me.. too chicken for my game at this point.. the possibility that one of the both had one of my outs each was high Ax, Kx, K's... the possibility of a tie was also practically null.. Have fun guys and see one of you later in the tournament!

I consider AK suited or not, more a hand to shove with instead of calling with it.. it's sure in a HU situation, it's a snap call... but if I have to choice and there're already 2 players in the hand ready to go, depending on the reading I have, I' would think twice about it and take my chance later. But that's my chicken game!

I like the idea of a shove with the AK. It's a premium hand!!!! I mean, what are you waiting for?? by the time you get your pocket aces the show will be over...

I would have to go in. Or do I prefer bubbling as an outcome?

I would try to take a risk with big slick on the first hand. It just might the best hand you will see all game.

I honestly don't think there is a wrong decision there.


See if you fold, and especially fold than end up losing, that hand will keep haunting you.

AK is very strong in that situation and worth stacking up and taken the chance. Sometimes you need to go for it and say F it.

I lean more towards calling!
