Re: Pokerstars 5+50 rebuy, and faced with an all in with AKs.
The size of the raise makes this an all-in or fold decision. You don't want to call and miss the flop, fold and be stuck with 4 blinds. The hands that have you in serious trouble are AA, and KK. The raiser is OOP and might have a hand that is good, but one he doesn't want to play out of position. You have no reads to indicate he has a hand that beats yours. Add this to the size of his stack, and the somewhat odd size of his raise, I think this is a push. An enormous amount of times you are, at worst, a 45%ish dog.
