Midway through, blinds 300-600, I have 4800. All fold to me in mid position and I find Ac Kc. I raise 1800. Folded to the button who has about 6000. He reraises allin. Agressive, loose player who definitely does not have to have AA,KK to make this play. I call allin. Turns over TT. No improvement and I am out.
Question: better to fold in this situation and go for survival assuming that the best scenario is probably a 50/50 rundown?
What about the play of AK in general. I am beginning to think that in the early/mid stages of a tourny better to limp and see what develops rather than come in with an initial raise. What do posters think of that general strategy? Only in the late stages start to play AK/AQ aggressively?
