I fold. Pass up on a maybe not even +ev situation to preserve chips for bubble time where I can outplay my opponents.

Nah you can't calculate at table. After you use poker stove a while (for post game analysis) and read the numerous articles (especially on AK), you just remember the numbers.

This is as tricky as things get at the 11's. People make all sorts of inappropriate min-reraises with things like KQ and AJ because they're still in a limit Holdem mentality. Anyway, I'd just push all-in here. Folding isn't too bad either. calling isn't necessarily bad, but it's probably not the best way to get value out of your hand.

Slim is right on, here. My default move at the 11s here was to always just push. You will get shown Ax where x is lower than K enough to make this move very profitable in the long run in the 11s. Like slim said though, other options are not terrible.

I agree that on PP I would have pushed it. AK plays best when you see all the cards. However, if this was PokerStars, I would have called and folded to the reraise. Not much harm to my stack. This is a good hand that illustrates the differences between the two sites.

I'm torn between all three options. My original thought was to call, but the large % of your stack makes this push/fold. Are you more concerned with your hourly rate than your ROI? If so, I push this. Otherwise, not really sure.

I think I'd push just because I just saw seat 7 triple up in the 1st 2 hands and I'm the jealous type who doesn't like to be outdone.

Push. You won't believe what sorts of crazy crap you'll see calling at this level.

folding is only an option if you never intend to play poker again.

Push all your chips in the middle.

Why? Because you're not closing the action?
