AKs Call All-In Quandry

Noble Poker $2 + $.20 SNG 6-max (hand converter not available)

BB had just crawled back from uber-shorty to chipleader and had not played overly tight or loose throughout. My table image (if anyone was actually paying attention, which is debatable) was tight.

UTG t1100
Button (me) t2000
SB t 600
BB t2300

Blinds t100/t200

I am dealt AsKs.

UTG folds.
I raise to t600.
SB folds.
BB raises to t2300 (AllIn).

Should I expose myself to a likely coinflip here? Naturally that's the only stack that can take me out at this point. Feels seriously weak to call an AI bet here with ONLY premium pairs, but perhaps that's the best +$EV strategy?
Pushing doesn't seem right either. Feh.

Push initially, and it's really not close.

Hand 1-

That raise is commiting 30% of your stack already, so you should have pushed. This abides by the 10X BB rule and the 30% of your stack rule.

With the way it played out, however, your at a very tough decision. Busting out 4th with 2 smaller stacks would be terrible, but so would be folding AKs and having just 1400 left. Im calling and praying he flips over Ax

Thanks for the input. It was a smidge under 30% of my stack which made me hesitate on pushing. I definitely didn't want to play out the rest of the tourney w/1400 chips and blinds were going up every 4 minutes. I can see how a push would be best here. Ax would've been beautiful to see, but alas.

Does anyone else play @ Noble Poker? I signed up there before I really knew much about where to play. /images/graemlins/smile.gif
