Default Re: AK suited all-in or fold?

I'm not sure I understand the idea of "protecting a raise" therefore having to call in this spot.

I agree with most people in this thread that it was an overly large raise which makes it more difficult to get away from, but with about T37,000 left (23x blinds at this level)... that's a pretty playable stack in my mind.

I'd feel fine folding in this spot, unless the player has been really loose and aggressive and would push with a wide range of hands (in my mind, the typical player pushes with a big Ace but more likely with a pocket pair). I would rather not get all my money in for likely at best a race, at that stage in the tourney, when I could fold and have a playable stack.
