50 NL. AK Standard?

[fatman20]

SB is 26.9/19.2/26
BB is 16.4/11.7/128

I had not been at the table long but had been raising and winning quite a few pots with decent hands. I had only showed down strong hands.

There's 2 hand you don't want to see the SB turn over: AA &amp; KK... It's better to call the $4.5 than to reopen the betting...

When your in a tourney and are shortstacked, pushing AK is OK...

Yeah, with position and with BB cold-calling this raise, I think it's a good idea to just call pre-flop and play it from there. I'm not a big fan of getting 100BB in pre-flop against relatively tight players.
