5.5$ early all in: Should I call with AK?

[DonLigretto]

Hi

Do u usually call this? I really play supertight now in the SNGs and only call this with QQ+ and AKo. But maybe AK isn't good enough this early?

I fold it. It's close if it's suited and depends on my situation.

I've called early open all-ins at this buy-in level with AK before. Once they had AA, sometimes they have AK, sometimes they have a mid-pair, sometimes they have trash, mostly they have Ax and you're dominating them. I'd call. Opening the betting with an all-in when they've got a healthy stack just seems like lunacy to me.

really depends on the player, but i cant imagine its a big mistake to call this shove.

If he's done anything stupid before this hand I'd insta-call. If he hasn't I'd just call.
