8 left out of 22, $20 buy in, payout is $260, $140, $60, $40. I have 350 chips, UTG 265, BB 340. Blinds are 15/30, increasing to 20/40 next hand.

UTG is tight and likes to limp AA/KK when short. BB is somewhat weak/tight.

Hero picks up AKs on the button, UTG raises to 80, Hero raises to 180, BB pushes, UTG folds, Hero?

Hero's money should have been in earlier, but call now, no way you can fold having half your stack in the middle, and having AK.

As i said, push the initial raiser.

Head on- Given the OP's mention of UTG limping monsters....He raised to 4x the BB so I'm guessing he has something like Jacks or AQo or something. Should have pushed sooner, but this is an automatic call.

Thanks for the posts. I wasn't second guessing the call so much, though BB had Aces, as the raise. I was trying to get all in, but in retrospect I think I would have been better off pushing and taking the blinds and the UTG raise and bumping my stack 30%.
