AK early facing a reraise

[emb]

In the early stages of a sit'n'go (BB<50) I raise from early position with AK (4-5xBB) to have someone reraise 3x in late position. What do people do as a general rule here?

A push seems obvious but more often than not I'm going to be flipping for my stack (something I thought we were to avoid early in a sit'n'go).

Calling and pushing any flop? Seems like you might get some of the pairs you are up against to fold if there are overcards and you might also get another AK to fold.

Calling and check folding if you miss the flop? Ugghh.

What about the situation when it is one of the blinds that reraises so you're going to have position post flop? This seems like one of those situations where it's almost better to be out of position as you're probably going to have to fold to any kind of cbet.

I'm interested in general advice for this kind of situation at the $11-$22 buyin level (non-turbo). After a night where I had AK reraised 3 or 4 times (I'm more used to everyone folding when I get AK [img]/images/graemlins/wink.gif[/img] )

Cheers,
