+EV to call. You don't even have to beat the 3rd guy to be in the $$.

I'd call with AT+ and probaly KQs.

Even if you knew UTG+1 had AA, AK is a 67:33 favorite over a random hand - it's an easy call.

Yep, this is what you were waiting for.

haha wonder if its the same guy that was at my table not too long ago. He went all in like this probably 20 times and won 3 of them with the worst hand going in. I picked up AK suited and called once and he flips up AJ offsuit and catches A J J flop. lol. GG me.

Still an easy call.

Probably. He went all in with like 53 and doubled up, and then some other crap and doubled up again. It was pretty crazy. Obviously, there was no way I was folding this, but I was just curious as to how easy it is. When I first started switching from mostly tournament play to mostly cash play, I loved these hands... now I hate them.

lol smaple size? unless you meant that you've had AKs 3k times.

Shove here, don't just call (bit nitty, but important given that there is another guy with 200BB yet to act). You definitely can't lay it down though, this is pretty routine.
