MTT Final Table -- QQ

bump until i get an answer. I'd like to know how you guys would play AK in the same spot. I mean, the guy insta-called. Is it that easy?

I guess it depends on villains (my) image and your image. If I put your reraising range as AQ+, TT+, it's a tough call, if you tighten it up to AK, JJ+, then I fold. So my answer to your question is...drum roll...."it depends". It's certainly not a snap call. I've been the lag with ak and snap call in spots like this (not for most of my chips) because I've been running over the table and the reraiser had a wide range.

EDIT: I'd like to add, maybe you're being a little too results oriented. If villain is not all that good, by not pushing you lose some value from JJ and TT. Most likely villain doesn't have AA or KK which leaves AK as the only hand that isn't a big dog to QQ. If villain snap called with JJ and your hand held up you probably wouldn't be posting here.
