Default Re: AK is crappy multi-way all-in hand...

38% is just over two to one to win, no? So with two all ins ahead of you, you get just the right pot odds vs these two hands. Only Kings and Aces have you smashed though, I think.

I think the question is though, do you want to take the ~1% (or whatever) edge with pot odds or wait till the maniacs bust each other out and attempt to outplay them later.

Say you have 1000 chips and 2 allins in front of you, so you have the option of calling and if you win you get 3100, and your 38% to win. That gives 0.38x3100 = 1178, or a 18% increase in equity. 18>>>>1. You've got to be careful to not underrate your edge.
Also, comparing AK v QJ v AT or AK v AQ v 77 or etc isn't very helpful. Use pokerstove & ranges, for example:
equity win tie pots won pots tied
Hand 0: 26.776% 25.10% 01.68% 6493088 434363.67 { 55+, A2s+, K8s+, Q9s+, J9s+, T9s, 98s, A7o+, A5o, KTo+, QTo+, JTo }
Hand 1: 34.710% 30.98% 03.74% 8013844 966308.33 { 66+, A9s+, KJs+, QJs, ATo+ }
Hand 2: 38.514% 33.97% 04.54% 8788941 1175385.00 { AKo }
