AK, easy call?

If he limped from UTG, would that be suspicious of AA or KK?

He raised.

Lloyd, my question in that post was "if"... in case you didn't read!

It's a moo point. Push. Nuff said.

If you have an A and a K in your hand your "gut" is almost always wrong that villan has AA or KK. In this circumstance, given your stack size, pushing is a no brainer.

Yea this is an easy push. I wouldn't hesitate. Too many times you are up against medium pair or AQ/AJ here and the coinflip over a medium pair would be somewhat of a dream in this situation. Doubling up to 8000 here would be nice and you are almost guaranteed to make ITM.

Think about it this way: with 6x left, are you going to be dealt a better hand than AK in the next 20 hands?

The answer is no.

Push.

You were still 30% to win the hand...could have been worse.

You guys all confirm how I was thinking. At the time I thought it was an easy push to try and double up. From the way villain was playing, I was pretty sure that he'd only make the 3xBB raise UTG with KK/AA... any less and I thought he would push instead, not looking for a caller. I was getting so shortstacked that I just couldn't get away from it, even though I was 95% sure he had the goods.
