Calling all-in with AK before the bubble in a €1 rebuy tourney

[danilaisback]

I rearly post here, but I had an interesting situation in a tourney. I am interested, what others think about the hand, what do they think is the best decision. THe situation is the following:

€1 (€1=$1.45) rebuy tourney at Paradise Poker, € 1000 Gar. 491 entrants, prize pool: €1237, 50 places paid (1st place:€309.25) average stack size:5363

We are down to 106 players, I have survived the rebuy period and have 7610 chips. The blinds are 100/200, no ante. Our table is 9 handed, Everyone folds to MP, who goes allin for 4570 chips, I am MP+1, and I have a tough decision now, call an allin with AK, and be in a very good position in case of winning and still have chips if I lose.
Average:5500, I have 7600.
Does it worth a call (I will be in a very good position), or should I wait for a better situation(I am above average)

I am waiting for the replies.

there's not going to be a much better situation.

not only is the shorty in MP shoving a wide range (i'd say almost any pair, a lot of aces, and a lot of broadway cards---which btw you smoke that range).. but with you him all in and you snap-reshoving it'll probably fold out some smaller pp's behind you and other bs that might have just called him but not 2 pushes.

all you can eat baby.

I don't really know what range to put someone who shoves 23bs on but whatever it is it's not beating AK. Shove and be happy about it.

Also the bubble has no affect at all on this hand so mentioning it in the title is unnecessary.

Thanks for the replies, I obviously called, the guy showed 22, and of course I didn't hit anything [img]/images/graemlins/smile.gif[/img], I was just wondering, if I made the right decision or not. According to Phil Gordon, making the right decisions is the most important in poker.
Mentioning the bubble was unnescesary for sure. Of course it didn't effected my play. ITM is not a result, u have to win the hole thing ! [img]/images/graemlins/smile.gif[/img]
