Re: 109 Hand , Fold AK 5 handed
I probably push.
If both were over 10 bb's I might consider folding. That's mainly because the odds of AK vs AK vs pair start to go up, as well as the likelihood of someone having AA/KK. In this case, while there are some unhappy situations (e.g., AK vs worse ace vs bigstack's pair), they're usually +cEV enough for me to go after them anyway. The button's range is probably very wide, and the bigstack's caling range is also larger than the average stack in this case I think.
Plus, if you win this, it could be your last risky pot until heads up at the very end. You will have excellent position to torment the two shortstacks while restealing the other bigstack (and getting a lot of sb's folded to you).
