Re: AK, M ratio = 6.5, Is this a Push?
My immediate reaction would alse be a push ... but I'm interested in exploring the option of flat calling:
You might get button or blinds to commit chips with inferior hands, and chances are even in a three-way pot your hand is good on a flop with a K or an A (which will be one out of three).
If you're raised all-in preflop you call gleefully, and if you're called and miss the flop you push to a check or fold to a bet.
With such a short stack you really want to make the most of your big hands, and though pressed you you're not truly desparate yet.
If you end up losing the 1,800 you still have 10 x BB and the option of moving in next time it's folded to you.
I realize this might be a controversial approach, but alternatives: either folding the OR and increasing your stack to t11,900 (still shortest on table) or busting out 50% of the time doesn't necessarily seem that appealing here.
Best,
