Default Re: AK deep in a $10 MTT, reraise from a big stack. Insta-call?

i just wrote the below... and noticed that everyones saying the same thing... but i'll post it anyway...

At this stage of a huge field MTT, the same results can be obtained with a smaller pf raise presenting you with a smaller risk/reward ratio.

here... the reraise offers borderline pot odds to call.. but as sherman pointed out... whether you actually have the correct odds is heavily influenced by the rr range of villain. as shown, adding AQ has a huge effect on your equity in this pot. thats up to you to decide... i dont think i would include with 23/2xxx field remaining. but i dunno, its super read dependent.

with no real read... its probably a break even call. and i wouldnt hate it if you folded or called.

However, if you had raised to 24-26000k (my standard size at this level) then you wouldve been getting sig less pot odds and a fold may be correct... (and reduces variance which is what sounds like you are looking for).

essentially, i think your 4x raise forces you to call here.
