$11: AKs + Bubble + Button + t1.75BB = FOLD?!

[lem45216]

In the previous hand the shortstack was the chipleader but is now crippled. Because of this i figured he was calling the raiser's raise with any two. I also felt the raiser would understand he had little FE (even if doesn't understand the concepts behind FE or what it is) so would at least have something half decent. I look down and see AK. Hmm. I fold, mainly due to the two points mentioned above. I'm almost certain i have them both beat, but i'm not going to be a massive favourite. And I suspect that if i did call the shortie might actually fold and try to sneak into the money. But i figure theres a good chance I can do that myself. But i really don't know if i made the right decision and it's troubling me.
Flame away.

Party Poker No-Limit Hold'em Tourney, Big Blind is t400 (4 handed) converter

UTG (t4070)
Hero (t700)
SB (t2285)
BB (t945)

Preflop: Hero is Button with K[img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img], A[img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img].
<font color="#CC3333">UTG raises to t1400</font>Hero isn't really sure what to do but folds realising he can ask 2+2 later on.

i'm being lazy now and won't open pokerstove, but i'm pretty positive this is a call.. if you fold you're probably 40% to get 3rd immediately.. thats not nearly close enough to pass up a good chance to triple up and contend for 1st.

I call this instantly. Please slap me if im wrong..

I'd instacall here.

I call this in a heartbeat.

He has to be pushing a ridiculously tight range (like top 8%) to make this a fold. This is entirely unlikely given that he's the (huge) chip leader. I call and it isn't even remotely close.

[lem45216]

I know what to do next time then..


(he had queens but thats no excuse whatsoever, somebody slap me in the face with a wet fish)

This is a great fold. It is laydowns like this that separate the Hellmuths from the wannabes.
