I folded AK Unsuited Pre-Flop

[greekgooner]

I would say this was a fold in a tourney, especially if the re-raiser seems solid. You have a good chip count and don't really want to involved with a guy who could take over 70% of your chips. He could well have KK or AA and if you were to call and the flop comes down with A or K, then you are in trouble.

Basically, this was my thinking at the time. It must also be said (& I know we all know it) that AK is an underdog against 2's. Also, it's possible I can end up in a three way pot - as I said, the original raiser was a really trappy, difficult player, perfectly capable of a steal like bet followed by an all in re-raise with bullets.
