Default Re: 4 handed, big stack playing properly, dealt AK

This is a fold (by ICM) and a pretty clear one at that.

Yeah. I wasn't being entirely honest when I posted as I knew it was a fold before I decided to call and did so anyways. When he flipped I was desperately hopeing that he was on a three outer of some sort - the J5 was unfortunate.

I think QQ+ is the range here and I have now resolved to dump AK from similar calls in the future. FWIW, I think JJ is a better hand here than AK but still a bad call. Actually if you run it with Gusti pushing any two, AK, either suited or not, still doesn't make the list but 99+ does.

Somethimes when your ROI for a day is -.5% its a good thing.
I learned that one of my preconceived notions about calling all-ins with AK sucks.
