[McGrain]

This is at the final table of a No-Limit Hold 'Em Tournament. The entry fee was $4.40 I folded AK off pre-flop and would love to hear some general opinions about folding this hand in general and about this hand specifically if anyone has the time. Here is the hand, we're 5 handed. The blinds were up to 800/1600, ante's were 150.

Rivoli was a tough, tricky player who slowplayed, trapped, check-raised, seemed to have fun with it.

Esconbanos seemed solid, had only shown down one hand, KK.


West - Folds
Rivoli - Raises to 4800 (has 42,262)
Escobanos - Raises to 19,200 (has 79,582)
McGrain - Folds (This is me, I had 114,353)

Anyway, it got folded all the way around and Esconbanos scooped the pot.

So that's the fold. What do you guys think? A bit weak? Letting AK go pre-flop is not something I'm used to.
