Default $55 - Call with AK?

PartyPoker $55 Speed Tournament, Big Blind is t400 (6 handed) Converter on pregopoker.com

UTG (t2323)
UTG+1 (t4305)
CO (t3582)
Button (t1700)
Hero (t2110)
BB (t5980)

Preflop: Hero is in SB with J[img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img] T[img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img]
<font color="gray">UTG folds</font>, <font color="red"> UTG+1 pushes (t4305) </font> <font color="gray">CO folds</font>, <font color="gray">Button folds</font>, <font color="gray">Hero folds</font>,BB says:"ak" <font color="gray">BB folds</font>


I was told by another poster that BB was a good regular/probably a 2+2er. When i went back and looked over this tourney i was surprised to see that he folded AK.

UTG+1 has not been a total rock up to this point, but he hasnt been a laggy fish either. Im not sure if I could fold AK here, but then again, im not sure if its correct either. [img]/images/graemlins/confused.gif[/img]

i think in BB's place theres no reason to flip, he has a comfortable stack. Also, he'd be calling the 2nd stack. It'd be different if a shorty pushed, I think he'd call.
BTW are you sure he has AK? and good fold of the JT.

Is it AKo or suited? AKo is a fold AKs is close.

I wouldn't tell the table I'm folding AK. It sets yourself up to get pushed on more.

I don't think he's 2p2 actually. If he is, he throws a lot more standard and min raises in the mix than most 2p2ers.

There's a very high chance that AK would be up against a pp. That's not something I would want as chip leader going against the second biggest stack.

I'd call. You've still got chips if you lose and you're not gonna see AA/KK there very often.
