I'd fold here. You have plenty of chips left. Find a better spot.

why the flat call pf? is one hoping for a multi-way pot or something? i thought raising like OP did would be the best move in that situation.

early in sng's i always flat call pre with AK because

1)they could be raising AQ,AJ,A10 and if i hit i'm winning big pot.

2) if i re-raise, most players will fold AQ,AJ,A10, KQ. this is a terrible result when im im domination mode with AK.+ winning the pot pre-flop is like worthless since theres hardly any chips in the pot.

i like the flat call early for the same reasons, u can win big pots so many times if u hit a flop
