Weird Scenario

This is a fictional hand, i had a heated argument with a guy in another forum about it, so i'll ask 2+2 [img]/images/graemlins/smile.gif[/img]

UTG: t1800
Dealer: t1450
SB(Hero): t950
BB: t9300

BB is t1200 with t75 ante.

CO and BTN folds, you have t275 left and you get AKo. What should you do?

ps - i feel bad posting this, but there is no other way to settle this.

Uhhh...are you serious? You're in the dead-zone and you have a chance to get all-in heads up with AK?!? Someone up there must like you.

If your antagonist advised folding, I think he's the dumbest fish in the sea.

He said Hero should fold, cause UTG or dealer will likely bust and you will get 3rd almost all the time.

Well, UTG and button (one of them, at least) should die before we do ....

Yes, but we're a pretty big favorite over two random cards, and if we win, we're now a big favorite for second place.

Also, while it's likely if you folded, at least one of the others will get knocked out, it's not assured. The big stack might fold to the BB next hand, or the BB might win all-in. If the guy with 1800 survives his BB, he'll probably fold to the sb unless he picks up a big hand. This would leave you with 125 chips and dead meat in the BB.
