Default Re: On the bubble, tied for chip lead, fold AKs to all-in...

Easy call for me. You're at worst a slight underdog to any pair (can't imagine he'd play KK or AA like that!) Against any other hand you're a slight favorite to a dominating position (against Ax or Kx). If you call, you're ITM is determined directly by that percentage since you're both even stacked going in... and overall I gotta believe that's a +EV situation to call.

AND you've neglected the fact that if you call and win, you're not only guaranteed ITM, but you'll have a dominating chip lead and have a a better overall cashing value (more 1st and 2nd finishes than if you fold).

Edit: After writing this, I curious how many people have been knocked out more times on the bubble by pushing with "any two" on the button or SB and getting called than they have by actually calling with a good or premium hand when someone is making a steal move on them? I know i've lost more on the former than the latter...
