Pokerstars $50 MTT...100 players left, 27 pay.
I am in the SB with A [img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img]K [img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img] Blinds 100/200, I'm 2nd in chips at this table with T8565, just got moved here no more than 9 hands ago. UTG (T7825), even newer to the table, raises to 600 MP1 (T4760) calls All others fold to me in the SB. I pop it to T2400. UTG thinks and folds, MP1 pushes the rest of his stack all-in. Obviously I'm calling at this point, though I'm not happy about putting half my stack on the line against possibly two of the hands I do not want to see (and was only worried about UTG holding). All thoughts on how I played/should play this hand would be appreciated. |

ITS A RACE |

The reason I'm posting this hand is that MP1 did indeed turn out to have AA. The good news for me is that AA doesn't beat AK on a final board of K668K. [img]/images/graemlins/smile.gif[/img]
Still, I obviously hated getting my money in this dominated, and wondered if I made a bad reraise out of the SB. |

Well, granted. When the 3-way action got around to me, it was a new situation to me and I wasn't sure what I should do with a hand that I didn't necessarily want action on.
Your suggestion of pushing sounds pretty reasonable considering that I had decided that the pot was big enough, and that I wouldn't mind taking it at that size. |

Looks like you played it fine to me. I would be very surprised to see MP1 turn over AA/KK's after smooth calling UTG's raise. My thoughts are you are up against a middle pair 88-JJ's maybe even AK/AQ/AJ the majority of the time. You're now getting 3-1 on your call here with AK which becomes an easy call.
