Re: $11:
I think a push here is fine. Pushing:
1) Eliminates the anti-value of your bad position.
2) Greatly increases the chances you're only up against one opponent (which with a hand like AKo is definitely better).
3) Ensures that your AK sees all five board cards (good).
4) Creates a very decent chance that you will take the pot down right there (always nice).
5) Punishes anyone dumb enough to call down with Ace-rag.
6) Keeps someone with Ace-rag from bluffing you off your hand with their position.
Also, remember that the "re-raiser" in this case was only reraising a min-raiser...at an 11 it could easily be a donk re-raise -- or at any level it could certainly be nothing more than an isolation raise with something like 55 that he'll often fold or AJs which you might get a call out of.
POOOOOOOSSSSSSHHHHHH!
And FWIW, I agree with ilya in terms of a cessation of usage of female body parts as an analogy to weakness. I think Annie Duke just might take offense and proceed to pummel you on a poker table just to prove that she was much less scared than you.
