Default Is it deep enough to flat call?

MP2 got moved a few hands ago, so I have no idea how he plays. CO flat called a raise PF with aces and got paid off.

PokerStars No-Limit Hold'em Tourney, Big Blind is t30 (8 handed) internettexasholdem.com

MP1 (t1435)
MP2 (t1830)
CO (t3140)
Button (t3200)
SB (t1649)
BB (t2215)
UTG (t1939)
Hero (t2117)

Preflop: Hero is UTG+1 with A[img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img], K[img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img].
<font color="#666666">1 fold</font>, <font color="#CC3333">Hero raises to t90</font>, <font color="#666666">1 fold</font>, <font color="#CC3333">MP2 raises to t300</font>, CO calls t300, <font color="#666666">3 folds</font>, <font color="#CC3333">Hero ???

i call. u have good relative position and should hit the flop the mandatory 1/3 times.

i don't hate a fold though.

flat-calling is basically the worst thing you can do imo. whether i shove or fold probably depends on the buyin (at higher buyins i like a fold more).

$100 on PS. So you put one of them on KK/AA, or is it because we likely spit AK with one of them and vs a lower PP? Anyway it's higly likely I am against a better hand?

But what about calling and see if we hit?

well when you hit you never get paid (they dont have KQ/AQ or less here), but sometimes you'll hit and donate your stack to hands that have you crushed. and you're out of position. it's just a fold for me.

calling is bad. I push here cos I prefer a big stack early or to exit early, but folding would be okay.

When I first read this thread I thought you could basically do whatever you wanted. AKs seems like of those hands that you really can't go wrong with.

After reading mlagoo's post though, I think I'd do anything but call.
