Default AK

You're in a 30 sng with 5 people left, BB is 150. Chip leader has over 7K, you are virtually tied for 2nd with 2600, 3rd has 2500. The other 2 players are less than 1K each. Chip leader who is UTG pushes all in, you're next to act with AK. What do you do? You are reasonably sure chip leader doesnt have a big hand, he is just pushing around table with big stack. I felt it was a pretty easy decision, but would love to hear some feedback and different opinions....I folded.

Default Re: AK

I like pushing all-in with AK more than I like calling all-in with it.

I muck it, and then punch myself in the balls when the flop comes AAK.

(I mucked QQ only to see a QQx flop last week.)

I prefer calling with AK over most pairs (other than AA,KK,QQ obviously) since I know I will usually be at worst a coin flip.
