Default 20/180 - AK approaching bubble against fellow big stack,

40 left. Villian hasn't gotten too out of line that I recall. I can't really say the same about myself, but I've been relatively well behaved my my standards. We are both top 5 or so in chips.

PokerStars No-Limit Hold'em Tourney, Big Blind is t200 (8 handed) Hand History Converter Tool from FlopTurnRiver.com (Format: 2+2 Forums)

Hero (t12825)
Button (t3460)
SB (t4950)
BB (t5455)
UTG (t12775)
UTG+1 (t9614)
MP1 (t6042)
MP2 (t15725)

Preflop: Hero is CO with K[img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img], A[img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img].
<font color="#666666">3 folds</font>, MP2 calls t200, <font color="#CC3333">Hero raises to t1100</font>, <font color="#666666">3 folds</font>, <font color="#CC3333">MP2 raises to t15725</font>, Hero ???


Easy fold right?

I would fold very quickly. He has given you no reason to think that hes out of line here. AT best you are probably coinflipping, at worst very bad against AA/KK

The huge overbet isn't even moderately suspicious?

Yes the overbet is suspiscous. He might have seen you messing around before and decide that this is a time he can take the pot away from you so he might have a weaker hand but it could still just as easily be 88 or something. Theres a chance he could have a weak hand like A10 or something but I wouldnt take a chance like this messing with the other big stack at the table. Maybe im weak though

i fold. with a big stack apporaching the bubble, you're going to have better chances to build your stack than flipping a coin against another big stack.

Ewww 5.5xbb?

Make it like 800. Yeah, fold, unless you have been playing maniacal crazy, then AK is just too good.

This doesn't look at all like AA/KK, but your stack is too big to risk it entirely on AK.

I purposely bet larger than normal becasue I didn't really want to tangle with the big stack.

OK, so I'll just assume that most think AK is a fold.

What hands do you call with?
