AK early - 2 hands ($11)
Two very different hands. First one strange, second more standard. Advice?
Party Poker No-Limit Hold'em Tourney, Big Blind is t15 (10 handed) converter UTG+2 (t755) MP1 (t910) MP2 (t805) MP3 (t1615) CO (t755) Button (t555) SB (t935) BB (t285) Hero (t800) UTG+1 (t585) Preflop: Hero is UTG with K[img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img], A[img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img]. <font color="#CC3333">Hero raises to t70</font>, UTG+1 calls t70, UTG+2 calls t70, <font color="#666666">2 folds</font>, MP3 calls t70, <font color="#666666">2 folds</font>, SB calls t60, BB calls t55. Flop: (t417.50) 4[img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img], J[img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img], 5[img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img] <font color="#0000FF">(6 players)</font> SB checks, BB raises [t230] , Hero... Do I just muck this, assuming that with so many callers I'm beat by AJ/JJ+ here? Was really strange, I don't usually get more than 2 callers there.

Do I push here and just take the beating if I'm up against AT/TT+, or do I just check/fold? Am I overplaying AK with my re-raise? Should pre-flop be push/call, not raise? Thanks, Will |

Re: AK early - 2 hands ($11)
The first should be an easy fold. Sucked that you got that much action preflop, but there's not much you can do w/ that flop.
I'd push the second one. I'm not in love w/ it, because it a lot of pocket pairs are going to like that flop and call your "desperatish bet" but not much you can do. |

Second hand is a very easy bet and fold if raised.
No reason to gamble that early in the tourney. |

First is an easy fold.
I don't think you're overplaying AKs in the second. I'd push that flop. |

Re: AK early - 2 hands ($11)
First hand is an instant fold. You shouldn't be considering calling/pushing with someone betting into you and this many people in the hand.
Villian's action in the second hand is how a lot of bad people play low/middle pairs. They check the flop to the raiser to induce a bluff or a Cbet, but they aren't folding because there are all low cards on the flop. I think you should've just called his raise preflop and played poker on the flop. Because you did reraise so huge, and the pot is so big, I suppose a push here isn't that bad. You'll spike and ace or king about 25% of the time anyway when he calls your "obvious bluff" with his 6s. |

Yikes. Call preflop on the second hand. You shouldn't feel so desperate to isolate with AK that you raise 250 with a stack of 800. That's crazy.
