Default raise re raise muck AKo?

early in a $10 MTT on stars the players range from horrible to decent haven't seen any of the hands from either of my two opponenents, so no reads.blinds 15/30 1 limper from EP 1 off the cutoff makes its 220, button reraises to 550. i am in the BB with AKo i moved in 2000 chips and was called by both, one showed AQ the other KK. The kings held, the more i think about the hand it seemeed like a really bad play by me i should have mucked and not thought twice correct?

I don't like that play at all. Even if there is one big raise I tend to toss the AKo. Its the hand that gets me in the most trouble. When the 2nd person went over the top you have to figure you're at best a 45/55 underdog because one of them is bound to have a pair, and more than likely the other one will hold atleast an ACE or KING.

Yeah, stick with it we've all been there. I've made (and still do) mistakes.

yah, you got more time (hrs) to make that play later on, but early I wouldn't get committed with AK vs. a raiser/reraiser in the first rounds....unless I was desperate

no rebuys i take it? I guess the play may be ok with rebuys if you could somehow triple up in that spot.

Reminds me of a hand my friend played in party's 350k while I was sweating him.

He had 5k w/ average over 6k and had a very aggressive big stack directly to his left. CO and button in this hand have him covered.

He gets AKs in BB, CO makes a standard raise, button reraises to about 2.5k. He decided to call which seems very wrong to me, but would a fold here be bad?
