Default Re: AK ITM vs action

My first instinct would be call as whenever I see AK, I become like a bull in a china shop (which is a complete leak, one I'm trying to fix right now). Staring at this hand for about ten minutes, with all of the numbers and figures easily accessible, I fold. Losing here you are either out of it or in a really terrible position for the next hand. Winning it, which might not happen often if you really feel like both players have one or more of your cards, would put you in a good position for first. If you fold though, I think you're guaranteed 2nd. It's gambling for 1st or playing it safe for second.

I think in the heat of the moment, I'd call and be happy with 3rd if I lost the coin flip.
