Default ($11) AKs vs. Two All ins

Party Poker No-Limit Hold'em Tourney, Big Blind is t40 (10 handed) Hand History Converter Tool from FlopTurnRiver.com (Format: 2+2 Forums)

Hero (t1920)
CO (t1760)

SB (t1680)
BB (t1960)
UTG (t2000)
UTG+1 (t2000)
UTG+2 (t2140)
MP1 (t2500)
MP2 (t1900)

Preflop: Hero is MP3 with K[img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img], A[img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img].
UTG calls t40, <font color="#666666">1 fold</font>, <font color="#CC3333">UTG+2 raises to t80</font>, <font color="#666666">2 folds</font>, <font color="#CC3333">Hero raises to t200</font>, <font color="#666666">3 folds</font>, BB calls [t1960] t40, UTG folds, UTG+2 calls [t2060] t80, Hero ?

5 hands into this SNG, I have no reads at this point.
I'm getting 2.2-1 to call with AKs but my opponents seem to really like their hands. Is this an automatic call?

I would have an automatic fold. I think it is way to early into the tourney to be getting into coinflip situations.

No, I fold this. 2.2:1 ain't all that when you have to beat two opponents. I would also like to point out that it's better to just call UTG+2's bet preflop. It makes the pot smaller and easier to play on the flop.

i don't agree with not raising pre flop. you'd rather reduce the field to just you and the original raiser who you'll have position on and play AK for more chips than 2 bbs. i'd raise that up to 200, can't say for sure what i would do in response to the all in. at higher stakes i would fold.

I think a raise was absolutely necessary here to isolate the PF Raiser. The last thing I want is a cold call and calls from the blinds.

as played, fold this. i agree with just calling here preflop. i used to have a lot of trouble with AK as well. read curtains AK article, it is VERY helpful.

Auto-fold here. You're flip at best.
