AK - push pre flop w/1all in or just call?
Early in $5.50 w/27 players. BB is very loose and will call a lot. SB is very similar (both tangled in 1st lvl w/ATo UTG and UTG+1 for 10BB preflop and got it all in on a A56r flop).
PokerStars No-Limit Hold'em Tourney, Big Blind is t50 (7 handed) internettexasholdem.com MP2 (t3485) CO (t660) Hero (t1850) SB (t744) BB (t1863) UTG (t1225) MP1 (t2203) Preflop: Hero is Button with A[img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img], K[img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img]. <font color="#666666">4 folds</font>, <font color="#CC3333">Hero raises to t150</font>, <font color="#CC3333">SB raises to t744</font>, BB calls t694, Hero ??? Do I just call here hoping to eliminate SB or should I push and (likely) gamble here for a bunch of chips? FWIW I was pretty sure that if I pushed, BB would call with anything (small pair, Ax, 2 broadway etc.. - whatever he might have). Him having a AA/KK here can happen sometimes as well I guess. |

I'm pushing all day here. I could see maybe flatcalling if this was a FT situation where an elimination will get you higher up the pay scale, but with 27 players left you shouldn't be to worried about that. You are way ahead of Villians range here so be happy to get it in.

Ya, being early was a key point. I thought it was clear but haven't played MTTs in a while.
Thx. |

Crystal clear shove. The range you gave to the villian with the bigger stack is all you really needed to know.

Shove - there's plenty of money in the middle to make a lot of worse hands call.
