late in stars 11r, time to gamble?
 

Down to the final two tables, obviously I'm eyeing the money at the top 3. Not many hands shown down recently, most pots are decided preflop. Should I come over the top or wait for a better spot?

I push in that spot everytime with a smile. The payouts won't change for awhile, and AK is strong enough. If you ran into AA or KK so be it, but my money goes in there everytime.

OK, CO's raise isn't concerning. The SB push I'll give a range of AJ-AK, 77+.

Hand 1: 48.0474 % [ 00.41 00.07 ] { AA-77, AKs-AJs, AKo-AJo }
Hand 2: 51.9526 % [ 00.45 00.07 ] { AKo }

Of course, because of the dead money from blinds, CO and shortie, this is a call. You have like 37K in dead money, and it is 76K to you with about 117K in the pot. This sweet pot odds situation makes this a push over the top.
