Default $22 bubble: need to fold AK here?

Party Poker
No Limit Holdem Tournament
Blinds: t200/t400
4 players
Converter

Stack sizes:
UTG: t3310
Button: t3890
SB: t9360
Hero: t3440

Pre-flop: (4 players) Hero is BB with K[img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img] A[img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img]
UTG folds, <font color="#cc0000">Button raises to t1200</font>, <font color="#cc0000">SB raises all-in t9160</font>, Hero?

SB has some kind of hand here maybe 55+, ATs+, AJ+.

It looks like a good time to fold AK.

Agreed. If SB's range is just 55+, ATs+, AJo+ here then its hard to make the call.

See ICM Calculation [img]/images/graemlins/wink.gif[/img]

Yes, def a fold given the SBs range.

Fold - if he even has 22 you are behind and watching as somebody MIGHT leave the tournament.

I think AK is overrated. Great hand unless up against pocket pairs and you are screwed if you lose.

AK are good chip accumulators but not good bubble hands.
