I guess I'm in the minority, but I don't particularly like being the 3rd player all-in (albeit with a short stack involved) with AK.

Booo, this is w/t. He plays these all the time and is within his bankroll (which would be the same as a $10 tourney to me). He wants to take 1st and to do so he needs all the chips in the tournament. W/ the overlay it is an instant call because he could be crushing you, or flipping w/ you and at worst only 30% against you. If he's doing this in a lot of MTT's (which he should, it's +EV) the times he comes out ahead he is prime to start opening up his game and stealing tons of blinds to make it to the FT. This is pretty basic.

This is incredibly standard.

It may even be standard with AQs here.

AQ making this move has got to be pretty bad imo.

I guess when you run good you can make these plays. I run so bad that if im calling in his shoes im almost always up against KK, AA. Also the fact that hoodini went on to win this tourney, must be nice. Lee Jones has doomed me pretty bad. [img]/images/graemlins/confused.gif[/img]
