We are in the second day of the $2000 NL HE tournament. Down to 4 tables and everyone is deep in the money. I had about T86000. The blinds were 2000-4000, antes were 400. A player with T36000 in middle position raised to 12000. Everyone folded to me in the big blind. I had AK. I sensed that he didn't have a great hand but would call an all-in bet before the flop because he pot committed himself with the preflop raise. Instead, I just called. I figured that if I flopped a A or K, I would slowplay it to let him hang himself. If I don't flop anything, then I would try to push him out of the pot by going all in. The flop came 10 7 6. I pushed all in and he called with 10-9 suited. The turn and river came blanks and I was crippled.
I debated this hand with a friend for a long time. My friend said that I should have pushed all in before the flop. What do you guys/gals think?
