2nd hand, UTG limpers, UTG+1 makes it 100 to go, I fold AKo in MP.
I think calling is the worst play here, and don't want to argue that. Pushing, I am almost surely a coinflip. I folded because I thought by avoiding a flip (which might be marginally +cEV because I might run into AQ), I can stay around until bubble where I have a bigger edge than in this hand. thoughts? |

folding is fine here.

Pushing is not the only option here.
Why not a raise to, say, 300? Too early for a push, IMHO. Uncle Wiggly |

This AK thing is bugging me. Not your hand, just AK in general. I read Matt Matros' about pushing with AK article recently and it made mathematical sense. Seems like a dangerous strategy to me but it is so logical that it annoys me. One day I'll grow some balls and give the strategy a go.

[/ QUOTE ]i have an edge when the blinds become a certain size, which doesn't really apply in a MTT. thats why i dont need to take this. |

Most likely he has AK or a middle pair with a raise of that size in lvl 1. So, if you push and are called you're most likely spliting the pot or a coinflip and you don't really want to be flipping coins this early. If your are not called, is t140 worth it for the risk of being called? |

[/ QUOTE ] not only are you basically assuming you have no folding equity against medium pairs, you're assuming that he can only have pairs. he raised to 100, which is about 7x bb, at party, and he did it behind a limper. lastly, you aren't giving up ev when you avoid getting all your money in with a worst hand. |
