Re: Another AK-preflop-question (live-MTT) - please start to flame me ;-)
I think this is a fold.
1st problem is the limper - who has about 8BB (M=5) limps and calls a push - this is a very strong hand.
2nd problem is the pusher, who has an UTG limp by a shortstack and a raise - this should be another strong hand.
So I think there are 3 possible scenarios:
1.) both play a PP - at least one of them is likely to have a high one (AA or KK)
If both play a PP <KK your odds are 1:1,63
one of them has KK - your odds are 1:2,85
one of them has AA - your odds are 1:13,70
2.) One of them plays a PP and the other one also AK
you get odds of 1:4,55 and worse
unlikely 3.)
One plays AQ and the other a PP
PP <KK - 1:2 - worse if KK,AA of course
So from all these scenarios it's the only one where both play a PP lower than KK where you get the right odds for a call.
