Given the structure of this tourney, your reads, and your non-desperate stack size I can find a fold here.

Re: 16s: Bad Fold?
Getting 4:1 postflop makes this a call, even if you're pretty sure you're behind. Even if he has a pair your AK still has a fighting chance. He could also have AQ, AJ, KQ. With the BB out of the...

Re: W$ to spend for a PCA ticket
