All great points. It seems there was nothing else to consider. With the raise at 4x, I was thinking exactly that; smaller pp or AK. Although, had seen opp 3-bet with AQ to UTG raiser. What I was afraid of was him calling with AK, seeing as how my stack is considerably larger than the small stacks.

BTW, I lost to AK, but I only second guessed myself because I was thinking about the equity of my stack at that point in the tourney. I really didn't want to risk it when there were 4 shorter stacks, but I guess we play to win. Thought maybe a call, but then I don't get full value.

I was just confused as to whether I should've played it a little more prudently considering the circumstances aside from being ahead.
