Re: Small edge w/ AKo?
Before I read the other replies, I think this is an easy call. I think you have more than 33% equity, so I put in some ranges in poker stove and it came up with 35%. That is a bit misleading though, since you are really concerned about CO. I think against CO you probably have close to 50% equity, with the times he shows up with AQ and maybe AJ making up some of the ground you lose on all the times you are against a pair. Also, there is a significant chance you can beat the CO and lose to the sb, which leaves you almost exactly where you are when you face the all in call (T20 less if my mental math is correct).
At any rate, I think this is an easy call since I think you are in a +Chip EV situation early in the tourney for all your chips. That is just a situation I have come to love, if you win you are in great shape if you lose, oh well. In the long run I think making calls like this are significantly +Cashing EV.
