How bad is this?

10+R on Stars

210 left in the tourney, 180 cash. blinds are 1000/2000 with a 100 ante.

It folds to me in early middle position with AKo. I start the hand with 53k. I raise to 8k. It folds to the small blind who reraises 14k more. SB is unknown to me as he just got moved to my table. He starts the hand with 90k. I decide to call the reraise, leaving myself with about 30k. Flop comes KT4 with a flush draw. SB pushes. I call.

Do I hate money?

I push preflop.

Your line's not horrible though.

I would move in PF as well. But I dont see anything wrong with calling his all in on the flop. You are only reasonably behind AA/KK. KT would be retarded, but possible I guess. A more likely scenario is KQ/KJ or an AK.

Im just interested as to why you guys think a push here preflop s the right decision?

If you miss the flop, you loose almost half of your stack.

Already have

But with a 53k stack and blinds only at 1k/2k is a push here really in order? If you guys mean after his raise, then im good with it too but not instantly. Im satisfied with a raise here.

I'm also good with the raise here, meant to say that I would've pushed after his re-raise, not instatly.
