Re: AKo All-In Question
[ QUOTE ]
Yea I think calling his all-in is better than folding at this stage in the tournament, but I think going all in first would've been better. Although AK is a strong hand, I'd rather not give small pocket pairs an excuse to call.

This is kind of results oriented thinking here... i mean, if you had gotted reraised allin here, and villian turned up AJo, or KQ, or somethinig, you'd be pretty happy you didn't push allin right away b/c you'd have scared them off. also, the stack sizes at your point make a resteal move from aggressive opponents appealing, so they might just think to try it with smaller hands.
yeah, if you KNEW one of the blinds had a small or medium pair, then allin would be correct, but normal 3x raise here will almost certianly make you more overall. winning the blinds at this point isn't THAT important here, esp since there aren't antees in the pot.
