Default Bubble hand $5 + .50

Help me out with this one. I don't remember the exact stack sizes, but heres the scenario, 5 players left...

Blinds 50/100
Hero ~400 - SB
BB ~1200
UTG ~194
Player4 ~ 2900
Player5 ~350

Hero is dealt AK offsuit

UTG is all-in, PLayer4 folds, Player5 folds, Hero??

I'm split between calling and pushing over the top. If you think its likely that BB will call a push, push, if not call and hope he calls as well.

too bad player 5 folded.

Yeah, The big stacks at this table were not helping me one bit. Everyone was playing really tight. I ended up folding because I have the bigger short stack, and as tight as everyone was playing I had been able to push as SB and steal the big to last another orbit hoping for a shorter stack to bust.

I'm pushing this all day and twice on sunday. Your push might be enough to convince BB not to come along and UTG probably pushing any A

I see no reason not to go all in here. In cases where you don't have a very sepecific reason to think someone else will bust before the blinds hit you again and that bust will make you money for sure, AK is a good enough hand to get it all in 100% of the time.
