Default Re: Confused with AK (55)

[ QUOTE ]
This is not the exact HH, but I remember the chip stacks quite well.

Party Poker No-Limit Hold'em Tourney, Big Blind is t150 (5 handed) converter

BB (t800)
UTG (t3700)
MP (t600)
Button (t700)
Hero (t3300)

Preflop: Hero is SB with A[img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img], K[img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img].
Utg Raises to t600, MP Folds, Button Folds, Hero Folds, BB folds.

My thinking here is that I dotn want to risk goign up agasint the only stack close to busting me, without a huge hand. If i fold this i still can pick on the shorter stacks, and am almost guarenteed to get ITM.
Thoughts?

Well, I'm certain that the other stack is thinking precisely the same thing. So if you reraise, or push, he's got something to think about.

In fact, a reraise here, and not a push, is a great tactic. Try reraising to 1500. Another option is to call and see a flop. I really don't care for the fold.
