Crazy all-in bets: 2 very similar situations with AKs PF
 

Well in both of these situations I'm 1.5x-2x average chipstack. Both are 20+2 stars freezeouts. I don't see this too often, but without reads I think I have to call this every time. It is moderately early in both. What do you guys think?

I call both times.

You're slightly behind in a race, most likely with 2 overcards to a pair. In the first I play it.

In the second, I lay it down. I have a nice stack and about 30 mins to the money based on my experience. I don't like putting my tourney on the line w/AK here.
