Hand Advice from Venetian DS Bubble

[deepsixes]

I was at the Venetian playing in the Deepstack Extravaganza $330 on 6/4. It was my first casino tournament, and i was thrilled with my play, until this hand. We were appraoching the bubble, there were 48 players left, and 40 would get paid. For better or worse the bottom end of the pay structure meant something to me...not that I could live without it, but I'd rather get a little $$ than no $$. (Clearly I was playing above my bankroll....but that is a whole different problem)

I had just moved to a new table and was below average for chips at this table, but above average for the field (i had an M of 13). I was on the button when a tight player opened up for 4 times the big blind from UTG+2, the next player re-raised to 10x big blind, and then the cutoff went all-in. This would have put all my chips in.

After lots of thought...I folded my AK suited...I thought that most likely smeone had a big pair (AA,KK,QQ), and certainly one if not both of the others would have an Ace. So I was trying to see the value in my hand versus the pot odds I was being offered. I figured if I won the hand I would go deep in the cash, but getting in this pot puts me all in...anyway....I was fairly certain a better opportunity to pick up chips would come along. It didnt, but I limped into the money. Not the best feeling, but not bad for my first "big" tourney.

So...What would you do?

Thanks for your help!
