Default Re: Laying down AK in a tournament from a Poker Pro Magazine Article

This is an awful fold.

You only have 30 bbs. That's not "in good shape". It's not bad, but to make the FT you've got a way to go. The pusher could also have AJ/AQ/AT/KQ/KJ, or below 99. The pusher is pretty short himself, it would make sense that these hands, and some others like suited connectors are in his range.

Easy call. The advice is weak tight at best.

?? You are 4th in chips. It's an UTG push near bubble from a guy that would knock you down to average if you lose.

As the big stack, you have a huge weapon over the next 50-100 hands on the bubble. If your table is typically tight, you can steal blinds at will. Why risk that extremely profitable situation with AK offsuit on what you hope is a race?
