We're still three players away from the money and we're going to have to pick up some chips at some point. So even though we're probably only 60-40 or flipping with those stats / reads I'm doing exactly what you did.

And no, there's pretty much no way I'm open-folding AK here. It's way too strong a hand.

Ya, I'd just get the chips in here too.

You're gonna have to tangle with the maniac at some point so getting it in with AK you won't be in bad shape very often.
