$Freeroll NL HE Turbo: Folding AK
This is an interesting hand from the earlier stages of a FT Round 2 Main Event Satellite(which I ended up winning, largely based on this hand). Alot of people go broke in a spot like this, and I'm glad I didn't.

Lots of callers preflop, I had the stack to repop it preflop but wanted to give some people some rope to hang themselves, and give myself enough leeway to get out cheaply...way too early to commit myself to the hand if I hit(top pair on flop or better).

The original raiser snap-min raised the pot-sized bet made by the BB. This seemed very suspicious, putting half his stack in with no concern for those left to act after him...i had been playing a solid, controlled game, showing down monsters, and i had the biggest stack at the table at this point, and the initial raiser wasn't deterred by any of this. Any hand that would commit himself to the pot with two people left to act is clearly not concerned with someone holding AK, so...
