Fold AKo with 20xBB?
 

I got this hand from a video. Sunday Million ITM. Average stack about 700K. Blinds 24K/48K/2.4K. Second position with 650K raises to 192K. Button who has been playing fairly tight, pushes for 1.1M. You have 1M and AKo in the BB. Call or fold?

Isn't the answer always call you have a huge hand time to get some chips.

Depends on where the field is and if it is in the money. I think that I would possibly fold here because more than likely you are up against a high PP with the button player and Ax against second position. Second position is probably not going to fold and it all depends on whether or not you want to flip off your stack this late in the game with more than likely a dead ace. You also have a little more than ten M which means you are pretty comfortable to fold the AK and make it later in the field and see what happens.

This is from a video by brsavage. His videos are among the best. He called, but he claims it is a fold.

If you look at the action, it seems close. 2nd position with 13xBB raises to 4xBB, pruposefully pot committing himself. This is late in the tournament when people are playing tight and raising small. This is probably AK or 77-QQ, maybe AQ. The button who has been playing tight moves in anyway with apparently little FE. This seems like AK or JJ-AA only.

So I think it is pretty close whether AK has enough equity versus both villains' ranges.

I think brsavage may be being results oriented. However, when you look at the action, this is very different from moving in with AK against a possible steal and possible resteal.

I think that savage is right with folding the AK as justified above by betgo. We are not ahead here.
