Any kind of reads on the guy? If not i'd probably fold here because the best you'll probably get is a race against a JJ or QQ. And it could be AA or KK and you could just be dominated. With his stack and that big of push he probably has you beat.

I'm not a fan of a call here at all. nice to raise the pot with that hand, but let it go. why get donked anyway?

 

[vincemcnabb]

I wouldn't call...2 callers from your 3x bb raise in early position, but he still goes all in...you're at best in a coinflip, but I doubt you're in one.

Well I called and buddy flipped over 7-7 and they held up, crippling my stack. Thanks everyone for the advice and the consensus seemed to be, not to gamble at this stage of the tourney.

Fold.

You have a decent stack here, no point in (likely at best) getting into a race for most of it.

 

[yoru72]

Fold, against any pair you had a little less than 50% to win the hand if only you called, and against AA and KK you were in a really bad position.
Let it go, only 3BB, not a big deal.

u originally made a 3 bet and he reraised u 7100 more. ak is nothing more then a drawing hand. as soon as ure reraised here u are either flipping or way behind. who knows, he could of had aa,or kk, all the way down to 33. and it doesnt look like u needed to make that call because of ure chipstack. definatly a time when ak shouldve been folded. hopefully u learn from ure mistakes and correct ure play. ak is a horrible way to lose money.

Gotta agree with the consensus, unless you have a read on the guy that makes you think it is a complete bluff, fold 'em!

As I was going to say, it is a huge overbet of the pot, but you can't call unless you are looking for a race... and I wouldn't be in your position.
