Late tourney AK preflop
I'm a limidonk and do not play a lot of tourneys, hence the question. Just transferred to the table, no reads. What's the best move?
Full Tilt Poker No Limit Holdem Tournament Blinds: t200/t400 (Ante: t50) 7 players Converter Pre-flop: (7 players) Hero is SB with A[img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img] K[img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img] 2 folds, <font color="#cc0000">MP1 raises to t1600</font>, <font color="#cc0000">CO raises to t5980</font>, Button folds, Hero... Thanks.

Re: Late tourney AK preflop
I would generally fold here because I have zero FE. Having no reads, I have no reason to think that CO is making this move with a smaller ace.
Pushing AK is fine if the times you are called and flipping for your stack as a small dog are compesnated by the times you get called by a dominated ace (and your hand holds up) or villain folds. CO's not folding here and OR is almost certainly only calling with a very big pair or AK.

Re: Late tourney AK preflop
About 24 left, 18 got paid. I folded this one, not b/c to get in the money, but just b/c I thought I could be in bad shape. I wanted to know if there are more people that could fold in this spot, also against unknowns. Thanks for the replies.

Re: Late tourney AK preflop
So what you're saying here is that "when CL isolating/putting all-in a shortstack with an M of 10 his range is exactly KK+, AKs"....
I doubt that it is, but maybe it is??? I'd sure like to know.... Because I push and most likley race with the CO only with extra money in the pot... I think he has TT-QQ and AQ here a lot more often than KK+...

Re: Late tourney AK preflop
No, I'm not saying that. I'm saying that, given what he's invested and the small amount that I will be able to reraise by pushing, that he is going to call with anything he's moved with, and unless I have a good read that he does this with AQ, which I don't because I'm new to the table, I am either flipping as a dog or splitting here or perhaps totally [censored] (but I hadn't considered that). Essentially, without reads, I am behind his range and it seems unwise to stack off on that basis, when I haven't yet invested anything in the pot.
Furthermore, the appeal of nearly tripling up is counterbalanced by the fact that OR only calls a raise and a push with more hands that are beating me or counterfeiting my outs.
