A friend of mine played this hand and I told him he played it far too weak tight. In my opinion he had to reraise preflop to get the field down, and I believe he is ahead in the hand 90% of the time. Do you play AK this passive early in a MTT?

Both raising and calling a raise are reasonable with AK imo.. With no reads, in position I tend to just call, out of position I tend to raise to get the hand over with quicker..
