My first PS Sunday Million - What would you do?

[CTFIRE]

You need to trust your gut. You are conflicted because this is your first big tourney. In a 5 or 10 game you are pushing with AK because you are willing to risk the $5 entry fee, even though your gut tells you shouldn't. Since it was a $215 tourney you listened to your gut and thought better of overplaying your AK. Knowing when to throw away AK post flop is a hard lesson for people to learn. You may have had him beat, but I agree that his early shows confirm folding was the right thing to do. Then you watch him and wait until you know your hand is good.

No, actually I'm willing to go all the way with AK in the smaller buy-ins because most times I'll be up against a player with a weaker ace in this spot.

I expected a better caliber of players in the Sunday Million, which is why I am analyzing my play here. In a $5 tourney I would chalk this hand up to a weak player getting lucky and just move on, feeling pretty confident that he/she would have made the same play with A3o.
