Default Re: 4 left in FT $55k, can I call with whiffed AK here?

Ok,I'd raise way more pre here,although you can make arguments for your raise as well as just calling to disguise your hand,and maybe win big with the right flop.It's just that he's not going to fold to this kind of rr,if you made it 80 or 90,and he called,you could be pretty certain he has a good hand,right now he can pretty much have any two.Also,a big rr makes post flop a lot easier for you.90k raise puts 200k in the pot,which means that I assume you shove the flop no matter what.

As played,I'm not a big fan personally of calling in these situations,he could have a lot of hands that not only has us beat but drawing virtually dead.Here though,it sure seems like he is on a draw.I agree with you that he could have AA/KK.That however is unlikely since you have AK.

Also,this is big money.How important is it for you to move up one or two spots? If you fold,you are still 2nd in chips I think,big diff between 2nd and 4th place money.
