Re: 10 x BB All in or Fold
The 10xBB Rule, like any other rule, can be bent in situations like this.
One line I've taken a liking to lately with this sort of hand is limping UTG or UTG+1, and seeing the action behind me -- if a player I read as loose raises, I'm pushing. If a player I read as tight raises, I can fold. If it limps around to the BB, I can try and play a bit of poker.
In this case, depending on your read on the guy with AK, you may have gone broke anyway. But it at least gives you more of a sense of control over the hand. This hand is a no brainer with less than 6xBB, and you can actually make another decision with 13xBB or more. It's that area in the middle there where it gets a bit confusing.
