Default ($114) Garden variety fold AK post

1st raiser is 15/15 after 20 hands. Reraiser is 15/10 after 20 hands. Obviously not scared of the 1st raiser but the min. raise is like YIKES.

PokerStars No-Limit Hold'em Tourney, Big Blind is t150 (6 handed) Hand History Converter Tool from FlopTurnRiver.com (Format: 2+2 Forums)

Button (t2515)
Hero (t2145)
BB (t1780)
UTG (t2160)
MP (t1380)
CO (t3520)

Preflop: Hero is SB with K[img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img], A[img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img].
<font color="#CC3333">UTG raises to t750</font>, <font color="#666666">2 folds</font>, <font color="#CC3333">Button raises to t1500</font>, Hero?

You can't base a whole lot on that small sample stats, but it's still a fold.

Thanks, maybe I won't bother posting anymore knowing how inferior my skills are to yours.

Anyway, Original raiser had KJ and reraiser had AK

This is one of those situations where vs. usual ranges it ends up being prety close to neutral chipEV, so there is not much incentive to get involved.

If all three of you go in preflop, here are a few of the equity calculations:

AK QQ AJ - you have 34.4% equity
AK AK JJ - you have 17.2%
AK TT QQ - you have 36.5%
AK AK AQ - you have 36.7%

If you push, initial raiser folds, and reraiser has JJ+ AK, you would need 41% equity but only have 40% vs his range. Again, this is for chipEV.

So against two raisers that have been reasonably tight I prefer to avoid this spot. I think if either of these guys have been laggy (especially the reraiser) than I prefer a push.
