Last night was playing in the 8K GTD deep $11 on Bovada and after some really short spots managed to get back into the game grinding a stack back up, make it into the money with about 30 players left out of around 880.
Get dealt AKo on the button. At this point there's two very large stacks to my right who have been stealing blinds easy with 1.5-2.5x bb raises and those raise sizes just before the bubble and after the bubble have been successful in this tourney for blind/ante steals for myself and a few other players I notice.
I have a little over 12bbs left on the button, get AKo. Blinds are around 8k/16k with 600ish ante. I raise it up to just under 40K. I contemplated a shove but with SB, BB, and 3 others left to act I want to see if I can steal the blinds or hit an A or K on flop and GII.
SB folds, BB folds, next to act who has about 10bb insta shoves, next folds, player in late position thinks for about 30 seconds with about 7bbs left and shoves. Now I know that in these spots many players are shoving a super wide range, lots of Ax, lots of pocket pairs, lots of suited connectors.
Calling will effectively put me all in.
Action on hero in this spot? And would you have simply open shoved the button with AKo taking any decision away?
