BTN should be raising something like 55+, AT+, KQ+, SB is probably shoving a similar range. Getting it in 3 way would suck because one of your outs would probably be gone. I guess fold? I dunno, I don't think calling is a huge mistake but it's probably a bit thinly bad.

I fold. Two people are going to war. One of them will almost certainly be dead or badly hurt after this hand, while I watch safely from the sidelines.

I can't count how many times I've gotten it in here against a PP and another AK - but then I haven't played this low in a while. Regardless Folding seems fine. Given the donk tendency to play 'big' aces harder than pairs preflop I'd say at best you're drawing to 5 outs.

If button is solid, I see nothing wrong with letting this go.

i think your fold is bad.

AK dominates and plays well against just about every hand.

Your not on the bubble.

I find it when people make that weird 2.5x raise from the CO or Button that tend to not have a hand that is good enough to call a reraise.

I'm raising AA-QQ here to 2.5 most of the time.

could be a good squeeze,chances are pretty good that button will fold and the sb could have a wide range(&lt;10bbs) especially at this limit i will push considering the limit you play. +ev and dead money in the pot also

I would imagine folding is a little better then shoving. I have no problem with the fold.
