Re: AK hand

I'd definitely call and see a flop. Pushing with 40K+ to win a 6k pot isnt a good idea in my opinion.
See the flop, then make your decision.

Actually, it's pushing 42K to win an 8.2K pot.
I was a little puzzled what to do here, but I pushed. I actually think that was the right play. I am in the BB and OOP postflop, plus I want to defend my blind. The push might look like AK or maybe AQ, JJ-QQ, but to sort of looks like a resteal blind defense. It's a nice pot if I can win it.
Villain had KK and I went allin for my last chips the next hand and busted out. It's a little disappointing losing out on what looked like a fairly sure several hundred dollars.
The push is definately my style, which is one reason that when I make the final table, I often come in 1st-3rd. I won a couple of tournaments in the last few days, and those are my only final table finishes in that period. I think this kind of play is one reason for that.
