Default Re: Folding AKo Preflop

I'm undecided as to whether calling is the correct play here. If you fold you still have 6800 which is still sitting around 10 big blinds once they do go up - You're going to need to make a move quite soon but AKo is not the time to do it when you put the villian on a pocket pair. Do you feel that the villian could have KK or AA (if so this is an autofold)?

At best you're holding the best overcards although it is much more likely that you're no better then a 45% equity favorite to win this hand given that you think the villian could be holding a good pocket pair.

Remember that you're also been raised all-in when you have a tight image for an amount that can be quite easily called in many situations - If you think that your opponent is aware of this then it is most definitely a fold!
