I think I call there. Either the CO calls behind and you are competing for his bounty with a great hand which also blocks their good hands, or CO folds and you have his 300 as extra dead money. You will run into AA/KK sometimes, but QQ/AK are both more likely. If there is ever a JJ or AQs, then it's a 100% call.

Think it will +EV in the long run in a bounty Turbo to call with AKs against 1 player, its a high risk game and you do not have the much time to wait for good hands.

We cover CO so I assume this person has a strong combination to push it to 10bb. The 4-bet is even looking stronger with that stats, something like QQ, KK AA AKs.
So what bothers me is actually the Button 4-bet here. But if we deciding to call it to roll the dice, CO already invested more than 25% of the stack, so it would be another call I believe since he goes in with the 3-bet of the intuation we are covering him. Could be definitely a hero fold from us at this point, but I believe if you did it, you would get the right outcome to strenghten this decision.

Thanks for the comments. I folded. I accidentally deleted the hand history file from my computer and dont want to spend time looking for it in PT4. But CO called, and I would have been against another AK and a big pair like TT-QQ, which would not have been a good situation for me, even though at the end AK actually got there and won despite having 2 less outs.

Nice fold. Although you could’ve called sometimes as well, I think. But even so congrats on your mindset and discipline, it is a very hard fold.

I think the tournament structure do affect our play here, since it is a turbo stt with bounties and with AKs it is a push (no brainer).
