AKs-I can't call this push, can I?

PP $109 1st few hands-no reads

If he were the first limper I would be pretty sure it's AA/KK, but since there was already a limper it makes me wonder.

I've seen this play made with AA/KK (by donks) often enough online that it's certainly a possibility, but I've also seen donks with mid pairs or AQ do the same thing. Pot odds look to be 1.36-1 or so. You can reasonably call. I probably would.

[betgo]

It's also a big overbet for AA/KK. Looks more like AK. Don;t know if I would call though.

[EverettKings]

No, you can't call.

It's just silly to put your stack at risk on a situation like this that will never be more than marginally correct. This is AA/KK often enough to make it a fold IMO, and in other cases I see hands like QQ and 44 and AK. Yeah theres a rare AQ in there but most of the time you're in trouble. There are FAR better spots, save your chips.

I'd fold. Do you want to risk your tournament life on a coin flip or underdog situation here?

A concept I'm still trying to apply w/ varrying degrees of success, but I fold here at this stage

Fold.

I'd much more expect to see this kind of move with a hand that you either 50/50 or more likely - AK itself - I usually don't see overbets like that the first round with AA or KK

on the other hand - what would you expect - if he's smart, he'll play you that way (I've been busted a couple times with massive overbets when I just COULDN'T put them on that hand.)

but do I wanna risk it first round - not really....let it go and try later - if for no reason then you probably don't have any read on the guy at all - if it's a common tactic with him and you know it from notes/previous experience, then go for it - -

kind of a dumb move with any hand in the $109 though unless you want everyone to fold -

sometimes this game feels like that battle of wits in the Princess Bride - LOL

bottom line - first round, I'm folding it - AA or KK I'm in, but I won't do it with AK the first hands of a $109 tourney.

EXCEPTION - Rebuy tourney I call - in a heartbeat...and rebuy if I lose

Fold. Smells like AA or KK to me, even though he over-raised it.

Fold...not even a second thought about it. If you are lucky the other guy just has AK...most likely you are a slight dog to an under pair and the chance that he has AA or KK is greater than AQ or something really braindead like AJ or KQ.
