Ok so my thinking here was AK suited, very pretty but still not a hand, with two all ins in front of me and the initial raiser still to act, I am likely behind completely or at best inna race, cant put anyone on a range of any type this early, and the button position means nothing since the chips will be all in pre.....am I wrong? do I insta shove here and pray?

With these quarter SnG's folding AK with two all-in's in front of you preflop is a good move. Save your ammunition for a better spot.

In a 100$ tourney? Fold. In a 25 cent tourney? Well, you're probably ahead. So if you're willing to take a gamble against 4 others and get a nice chip stack early, easy call

Huh? probably ahead.. maybe you should try poker stove and see how ahead you actually are against two random hands...

 

[kmixer]

Against any random two you are way ahead but against any pair and another random you are slightly behind. I know it is just a .25 game but that isn't the mentality we should be playing under. I would figure that anyone shoving here either has the pair or has some suited connectors. Then again I have seen a shove here with any two but again this is not the mentality we want to play under.

I am pretty nit pre flop so I would have folded this for sure.

 

[WarriorStoic]

ok thanks everyone for the input, this is why im here...to learn

 

[TheUndertaker]

I would suggest folding since it's not a made hand but there is a good chance of you being head here since it's a .25c tourney players look to double up early or go out and they usually suckout the best hand.Kmixer is right in saying no matter the buy in play good poker.

Hes probably never going to be ahead here. The only thing you should think about calling with is AA/KK.
