Re: AKo All-In Question
[ QUOTE ]
With your stack size/situation here, my only goal is to get all of my money in. With the BB being a big stack, his range of hands to come over you should be *very* wide, if not he is not much of a player. I think you played it perfect, if you are not willing to get it in the middle vs a big stack while holding AK, you are playing extremely weak-tight.

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.
If I'm up against big pairs, they're gonna call anyway, and so be it. But if there are small pairs out there, which is just as dangerous for my AK as the big pairs, I would rather have them fold. Although I'm not desperate yet, I'm getting close to that point and I think All-In first would've been better.
