Re: Laying down AK in a tournament from a Poker Pro Magazine Article
Beacause if you win this hand, you all but lock up the FT, and possibly 1-5.
You're not gonna be stealing that many blinds if the average stack is 9 blinds. There's gonna be lots of shorties pushing, and pretty soon you're gonna be an average stack.
The overlay alone with the blinds (and probably, although it doesnt say, antes) makes a coinflip +EV. But often it's not a coinflip...
