Default Re: $27 AK on bubble

I've been wrestling with this one largely between pushing and folding...

On one hand:
-AK plays better when you see all 5 cards.
-CO should be raising a relatively wide range here
-I am second biggest stack and should have some fold equity
-I may have many of his holdings either beat or dominated and there only KK and AA that would have me dominated.

On the other hand:
-I'm have a healthy stack and no need to risk it all at this point
-CO is the big stack
-If I fold, there is some chance that BB will get eliminated somehow

I can see the argument for flat calling since we have a decent chip stack... But is that OK since we're likely to miss 70% of the time?

I push scenario 2. Scenario is much harder. I hate being OOP here, I'm not precisely priced in, and I miss 70% of the time, but I have AK. This is definitely read-dependent.

Hmm, easy push I would say. He might be stealing and if he calls it's most like 50/50 or you're a 70/30 favorite.
