because he's one of the top stacks, and probably doesnt have to do anything other than steal from LP to get his seat.

I folded. Is that a bad play?

Re: AKo superdatellite final table
 

no its not bad. you dont need to do anything crazy here. If you raise, you have to fold to either of the two stacks that are bigger than you. Pushing is obviously not right either. If you just keep pushing on the small stacks from LP, you will get a seat.

Re: AKo superdatellite final table
 

Definitely. I'm raising this up, calling a short stack push and folding to a big stack push. No one is going to call you in this situation without something good, for the same reasons that you folded in the real hand. Why not take the blinds? You may need them.

Re: AKo superdatellite final table
 

Looks like about 350,000 chips at the table. You're not going to be able to fold your way to the money. You can raise to 4,500 like you normally would, or start folding and you'll end up being the short stack with 6 players left and praying to the poker gods for an AK to double up with.

I think folding AKo UTG in this situation is fine. Some of the smaller stacks are likely to start pushing all in over the top and they are big enough to cause you some damage. No need to get involved here IMO.
