Default $3.40 AK call here?

PokerStars Tournament, Big Blind is t200 with t25 antes (6 handed) Converter on pregopoker.com

UTG (t4155)
UTG+1 (t2035)
CO (t2030)
Button (t3310)
SB (t1670)
Hero (t1800)

Preflop: Hero is in BB with K[img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img] A[img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img]
<font color="red">UTG raises to t600</font>, <font color="red">UTG+1 raises to t2010 (All-in)</font>, <font color="gray">CO folds</font>, <font color="gray">Button folds</font>, <font color="gray">SB folds</font>, <font color="gray">Hero folds</font>, <font color="gray">UTG folds</font>


No reads on UTG, UTG+1 is fairly loose and is probably shoving most pairs here.

if ug+1 is loose engouh to shove most pairs here he would also shove AQ/AJ/ATs. so i go ahead and push here and look to get it heads up. if you can do that, you are either flipping with a nice overlay or have villian dominated. 3-way pot is not the end of the world either.

I find myself folding in these spots so I will have to look to put an end to that.

I've only folded AKos a handful of times at these limits and every time it's been the wrong play imo (not once dominated, mostly flipping for a huge pot and ahead occasionally) even with 3 of us in the pot.. So I'd have to call here.

I suppose at a higher limit this might be a fold? I folded and wanted to puke when I saw UTG fold behind me.

I don't think I've ever folded AK PF in 3.40 and don't plan to start. Too many players shove with Ax, KJ/KQ.

You should fold here. The problem with AK here is it beats pretty much nothing. If your're looking to move up, it's essential to learn how to play AK. So what, if they turn over crap? At this level, I would think you could find a better spot to get your chips in.
