Calling a 4x BB raise and a call with AKsuited in level 1. A hand
Below is hand that I normally wouldn't play this way. I'd normally re-raise in hopes of taking whats in the pot preflop or stealing after the flop going all in no matter what flopped. I played this differently because of the advice i've gotten here. The mantra "Don't risk all your chips early in the tourney in a risky situation" was going through my head. Was this the correct play? or should I have taken advantage of AKs?
Btw, the very next hand I more than doubled up with AQos.

Re: Limping in with AKsuited. A hand
Fine. I might pay the 50 on the flop to see if I can turn an ace or a king (although why such a small bet from villain?), or another diamond getting 3:1, but this is probably a bit loose. Maybe an argument can be made from implied oddds? Probably not. You played the hand fine.
