I think QQ is a better hand, also there are spots where it's better to call a push with 99 than AKs. your analisis is pretty fishy though: "AKs is the third best hand (which is wrong) if I hit an ace I'm good, if I don't I fold" you are forgetting the really important stuff: position, opponent's range, tournament equity you had, the porcentaje of the times you have to fold the flop, and so on-

I like your post flop line is fine but I would either shove or fold preflop after the raise. Really depends on the payout structure. I hate calling OOP with AK, what do you do if you don't hit? Check/fold? Pretty weak line and a waste of a decent amount of your stack. Also, not sure why people want to bet the flop, it's almost turning your hand into a bluff. You're ahead 99% of the time, maybe against AA but thats about it.

@Berkstajger: Yeah bro, thats what iv been saying the whole time through, read my other replies posted all over the board.and at mr. pocketjohn whatever. I didnt push, because if I hit an ace, i know im good over his pocket pair. If i dont, I can easily make the fold.
Wait sorry...i remove my origional post, i miss read you hand ♠ Appologise, thought you had AA. That will teach me to reply quickley in a rush to catch a train

But the fact of the matter is, in the same exact situation, id probably play the hand the exact same way, if i know the guy has an under pair, cuz i know he's quite literally dead.
Are you sure you know what that word means?
Other hands that might have been in the range of the villain. ( I might be totally wrong) 33, 66, KhQh?
I always think to let the opponent get a free card is wrong
the important thing is to get the ticket in this case not to finish first in the tourny
not in relation to the hand but to get itm in the tourny. I think you probably should have either folded to a reraise preflop or go all in but at this stage of the tourny you wnat to avoid the bubble.
post flop I beleive should not have given a free card to the villain.
I think at this stage of the tourny you should avoid taking risk and try to eat the smaller stacks rather than risking yours against the bigger one
Ithink in differrent situation that might have been the perfect played hand but maybe not at this stage of the tournament
