I don't have the hand history but I remember it well enough to explain it.
Fairly early in a $5 SNG. UTG + 1 makes standard raise, he has about 1900 in chips and seems like a typical tightish type player in these SNG's. UTG +2 is all in with about 900. I don't think he has a premium hand, was a bit loose early. Folds to me in BB and I have AKo. I think I made a poor decision and called here. My reasoning was that there was a reasonable chance that UTG + 1 acting behind me would fold and I would be heads up. UTG had already folded. If he just called, then I could see a flop and get out with about 1000 chips if it wasn't favorable. I had UTG + 1 covered by about 100 chips. Feels like all in or fold.
Flop A Q T rainbow. Pot is about 2000. I have about 1000 in chips and go all in. UTG + 1 calls with AQ and UTG + 2 had A 6.
I go down unimproved
2 questions.
Is preflop all in or fold?
Is the flop check/fold? The only hands I can beat that UTG + 1 would raise in early position are KK's and AJ and tie with another AK.
It just feels like one of those, going down the tubes with AK hands.
