AKs on the bubble in $10_1 Party SNG

[TL Price]

Situation as follows. Blinds at $100/$200, Hero in 3rd chip position (1250) with A /images/graemlins/spade.gifK /images/graemlins/spade.gif in the small blind. 2 folds to me, I raise and make it $500 to go (NL). Big Blind (Chip Leader, 3950 chips) has been being a bully all game, thinks for a while, and then moves all in.

Short stack has 900 chips, 2nd stack has 1900. Hero should...

.... have moved in instead of only raising to 500. Given that you didn't, call anyway. You are playing for first not third.

[Bluff Daddy]

Well if you fold you will only have 750 chips left making you the short stack, you have to call. You raised almost half your chips and you prob have him dominated anyways.

No-brainer. ALWAYS move in with AKs with 5x BB. Given you raised half your stack, you can't lay this down unless you KNOW somehow he's got AA or KK. I don't see how you can possibly get that from just reraise.

CALL! Folding makes you more weak-tight than Phil Hellmuth.

Actually (considering only chip EV) you should still call even if you know he has KK.
