So, if you push and are called you're most likely spliting the pot or a coinflip and you don't really want to be flipping coins this early.

This seems exactly backwards to me. I'd rather take a 50/50 on either being set until round 4, or being out and loading up another tourney, than play 3 or 4 rounds, and then try to double up or lose.

you guys make my head hurt.

I just call, but pushing is fine.
The other option is a raise to 799.
If he calls check it down.
This has the same impact as a push but also maximizes cheesy thread equity b/c you provide yourself with a chance to come back from 1 chip and make a stupid post on this board about it.

There, thats my stategy post for the month of Nov.

also, i'm wondering what the point of hte post in the first place was, i mean all you said was "sometimes it's ok to fold AK preflop" basically, and well, everyone knows that.

[/ QUOTE ]the point of the thread was to solve an argument i had with some people who thought it was a terrible fold. i wasn't trying to prove a point in posting this, i was trying to figure out if what i did was standard.

The right rationale is your cev is higher if you fold than if you don't.

If you take a 50/50 flip here wont you increase your hourly rate?

You aren't 50/50. It's likely around 44/56, and there's a huge difference if you're going to make the hourly rate argument.
