Bubble hand - AK

[puravida]

$20 Pot limit, 196 entrants. 19 players left, 600 1200
blinds. I have 6K in chips. Low stack has $1000.
High stack has 80K. 10th thru 18th pay the same: $47.

I get dealt AK UTG, 6 handed table, 2 big stacks at
table. Other players have roughly 6K also. What would you do?

6 handed that is a monster.
i'd do the max raise and go for the win.
Only AA-JJ will probably play. And with you UTG, i'd likely fold JJ after you do the max raise.

There is a lot more money to be won than that $47.

Raise the pot and push the rest in on the flop, as you normally would. If being on the bubble means anything then that you can lower your raising requirements (unless you are a short stack and unless the blinds are either almost all-in or big stacks, that is) b/c the other players are usually more reluctant to call.

Raise the pot and bet the flop.

Unless of course you are happy with $47!
