Re: Call a crazy push with AK late in a ps180?
I'd assume buttons range is very wide here. In fact, this is almost never AA/KK, so you are at worst a coin flip. I don't mind getting into a coin flip situation here because the blinds are coming up fast and winning will give you a FT stack and a shot at the real money of this tourny (In reality, though You are better than a coin flip, usually a 60% and sometimes even higher when he's pushing with an A or K).
Not to mention we are almost to the bubble and having a 20K+ stack will be awesome for abusing it. You could easily end up with a 35K+ stack for the FT if you pick good spots for stealing blinds.
Bottom line: we didn't start this thing to sneak into the money- we came to win and you are going to have to double up a few more times to do that. This is a great opportunity- you should take it.
That people fold AK here is what makes pushing marginal hands on the button profitable.
