Re: Results and what do you think of a call in the big blind?
Well, in any satellite situation, if you're playing a hand at all you typically would like to be the one pushing, not the one calling pushes. That being said, AK is a nice hand in that spot... the only problem is that it is, indeed, a satellite.
So, the question is not whether or not the hand is good enough to call, the question is whether or not you can fold this hand and still reliably get the seat. So, if you feel like you can just fold in, or that you can pick up enough blinds and antes on future raises to win the seat, then fold. If you feel like getting these chips is the only way you are going to be able to comfortably get the seat, then call. It sounds to me like there aren't any seriously short stacks out there. And the BB in this hand is really only about a rotation ahead of you.
All things considered, I think I would've called in his spot. He's still in it (albeit, barely) if he loses, and if he wins he'll be in much better shape to weather the storm and get the seat.
