ugh, shove and pray? you have no fold equity, ugh. if there is ever a time to fold AK preflop it's spots like this where you don't have an edge on their range and no FE. if I can't chip up stealing/restealing i gamble here. if the table is bad I chip up through stealing/restealing and dump this.

Got to push. Given the positions, SB's image, and SB's stack, SB often has a hand you dominate. This borders on being a resteal situation. Both players raised big, which represents good hands, but not hands that dominate AK.

Push and pray... your most likely not up against AA/KK... Most likely a coinflip situation against one of the two if both were to call.

both wont call unless we are crushed(AA,KK,maybeQQ). I interpret that by saying"push and pray" you WANT a coin flip decision atthis stage of the tourney?

Calling is significantly cEV+. You usually end up HU against the reraiser with the dead money of the initial raise and blinds and antes. You have the reraiser dominated a significant percentage of the time.
