Confused with AK (55)
This is not the exact HH, but I remember the chip stacks quite well.
Party Poker No-Limit Hold'em Tourney, Big Blind is t150 (5 handed) converter BB (t800) UTG (t3700) MP (t600) Button (t700) Hero (t3300) Preflop: Hero is SB with A[img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img], K[img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img]. Utg Raises to t600, MP Folds, Button Folds, Hero Folds, BB folds. My thinking here is that I dotn want to risk goign up agasint the only stack close to busting me, without a huge hand. If i fold this i still can pick on the shorter stacks, and am almost guarenteed to get ITM. Thoughts?

So if you reraise, or push, he's got something to think about. In fact, a reraise here, and not a push, is a great tactic. Try reraising to 1500. Another option is to call and see a flop. I really don't care for the fold.

Re: Confused with AK (55)
I'd call. Depending on the board I might lead even if I miss, but you'll still have a huge stack comparitively even if you check fold. And if you hit a check-raise will certainly pull in quite a few chips (and who knows if he has KQ KJ AQ etc. and you hit a shared card for most of his stack).

Re: Confused with AK (55)
This is a tough spot. But it's not the bubble yet, and Villain should be folding a few hands to your reraise over the top.
I'm all-in. I just realized you could call. That's an interesting line, but you're somewhat OOP. Ah well, you can check any flop, and push to a bet with a dry flop or when you hit.

Re: Confused with AK (55)
The only reason i didnt want to call was becasue i would be OOP after the flop, and would have a hard time taking it down if i missed (betting into a 2 5 7 board dosent show alot of strength).
I think i should of called, because its not a huge portion of my stack, and if i hit im almost alwasy ahead.
