With your stack size, and the fact you don't need to get involved, even though you would need it to go (small stack - big stack - you) in that order to get 3rd, I think this is a fold. Begrudgingly.

Moving up in life, eh? How are the 60's compard to the 27's?

Re: Stars $60 muck AKs preflop?
 

I'm playing this. There's no reason to imagine you're against AA/KK here, short stack is pushing a lot, big stack is calling a lot. Great chance to move into a comfortable chip lead from behind.

bad players are still bad. good players are more tricky.

Hi. Had the short stack 3 bet (or something similar) and the big stack called that, I would definitely consider moving all in here. Under the circumstances you described, I would fold the AKs without a second thought. I love leading as the pusher with AK on the bubble, but hate calling the same with it. Have a great weekend!

You have them both covered. Insta call.

Uh. He doesn't?

Re: Stars $60 muck AKs preflop?
 

I call I think. You probably have shorty and biggie crushed. And we all know the winning pattern that has to go down to screw you. I think you're in decent shape to at least get third, but also triple.

OOOOOPS, thought the other shorty called. Well, even so, he has the shorter guy covered, which makes this a close call IMO.
