Default (22) AK early big stack

Party Poker No-Limit Hold'em Tourney, Big Blind is t15 (10 handed) converter

SB (t785)
BB (t735)
UTG (t785)
Hero (t1565)
UTG+2 (t785)
MP1 (t195)
MP2 (t810)
MP3 (t900)
CO (t775)
Button (t665)

Preflop: Hero is UTG+1 with A[img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img], K[img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img].
<font color="#666666">1 fold</font>, <font color="#CC3333">Hero raises to t50</font>, <font color="#666666">3 folds</font>, MP3 calls t50, <font color="#CC3333">CO raises to t200</font>, <font color="#666666">3 folds</font>

Whats my play here? I dont like a call because I have to play this pot out of position, but I dont think a push is going to make him fold very many hands that beat mine because this is only a 22. I guess I should fold, but does my big stack make this any different?

Default Re: (22) AK early big stack

I fold here as a standard play. Regardless of your stack size, I think the reraise over a raiser and a caller indicates at least JJ and likely QQ-AA. A lot of players at the 22s are dumb, but this usually isn't someone getting slaphappy over AQ suited.

EZ Fold. You're up against QQ or better almost always in this spot (maybe rarely AK or JJ).
