[Closed] AK in early stage $1 SnG

Umm.., the way I read it you didn't push, you called a push being the 2nd caller, which makes it a 3-way pot. I'm no expert, but I'd say with just AK you should fold here because I think you're equity is not enough for the call to be profitable (I would call with KK+, maybe QQ+, even though they might be playing worse hands than AK, imo you still need something stronger because your equity goes down in a 3-way pot). I have had similar situations in MTT's and none of them worked out well. Besides, your pot odds are not that good (34% as I count it) as the flop will hit you only 33% of the time and even then you could be behind.

EDIT: Sorry, it seems that your pot odds are good since you will be all in and get to see all 5 cards, hitting a made hand ~50% of the time, still you might be behind.

as long as niether of them got As or Ks then you are not that bad shape but some of your outs will be used in there hands

lower stakes is like playing lotto sometimes like here , on higher stakes fold it as you gonna be up against big pair

Hi Kimber88,

This is always a fold. It's ok to call here if it's an MTT, but I would usually still fold AKo and call AKs. In SNG it's best to fold both AKs and AKo to 2 all-ins early on.
