Do you make this call here?

If you make this play every SnG for the rest of your life your ITM is capped at ~33%.

Fortunately you're not put in this position every SNG for the rest of your life.

How is making this decision once any different?

It wouldn't, because you should be making any decision as if it's a repeatable event.

But as I've been thinking about this, I'd like you to explain how this caps your ITM chances at 33%. Cause I just don't get it at all.

You're saying that any time there are 10 opponents in and you call an all-in bet that you limit yourself to a 1/3 shot of making the money? Following that same logic, if there are 5 players in and you call an all-in bet then you're limiting yourself to a 50% ITM.

The fact is that your ITM percentage is not dictated by the the # of players when faced with an all-in decision. That's why we do the math to determine the chance of busting out here or winning.

Since AK figures to be a favorite most of the time against average opponents, you're going to win more than your fair share of the time.

Claiming that your shot of finishing ITM is capped at a fixed figure without considering your hand and the opponents' possible range of hands is flat out incorrect.
