Your move here?

Interesting situation.

Player to follow me seems like a sold player (for the $11s /images/graemlins/smirk.gif) and the big stack is Nuts, calls EVERYTHING.
Small stack will be blinded out right away.

Your play here and why...

Party Poker No-Limit Hold'em Tourney, Big Blind is t300 (4 handed) converter (http://www.selachian.com/tools/bisonconverter/hhconverter.cgi)

BB (t4590)
UTG (t400)
Hero (t1040)
SB (t1970)

Small stack might double up instead of get blinded out. If that happens, you are in trouble.

I think you have to be tight here, but AK is still a push, IMO.

All in...wait better yet. Don't bet all your chips just bet 1000(lol to Slim and Ilya).

Push.. All the ss has to do is win his BB hand and he will have 800 chips minimum. A doubleup also puts you in good position to compete.

I'm all in. If the small stack doubles up you are not that far ahead. Gambling to almost ensure a 1st/2nd.

Push, because I couldn't think of any other viable play.

Push. Playing the waiting game here is not a good idea, since at the 11s you are not guarnateed that the SS will be probably dealt with by the opposition. If he had 75 chips it would be different, since he could double up and still be put in by his SB.

But you have to push this. If you are called, you are a favorite a large majority of the time.

Not only is the SB not guaranteed out, but if you win a race you are looking in great shape, with the SB to lean on. if you had a more marginal hand or mid PP this would be debatable, but AK is so strong 4 handed it is a great push.
