This isn't one hand in particular, but in the past couple sessions I had 4 very similar hands where I was holding AK and had completely missed the flop. Each time there were either 1 or 2 unknown opponents and each time I continuation bet. In all 4 hands I had done a standard raise preflop, and post flop the pot was about the same size as my stack, so my continuation bet was all-in. My question is whether or not its +EV to risk your tournament life on a c-bet. (all of these hands I was not yet in the money, with 4-7 people remaining) I know it depends a lot on the texture of the flop, but I'm more wondering if I should be checking more hands in situations similar to when I hold AK and the flop is say Q97 against 2 opponents who both checked to me.

Thanks :)

Hi gggeorgio, I would really need specific examples to judge. Usually speaking, if your continuation bet is going to commit you to call an all-in, you should be going all-in preflop.

AK on a Q97 board against 2 opponents.. when they check to you, almost always I would check behind. The chances that one opponent hits is 35%, but when you're against 2 opponents, this goes right up (70%(!!!!) if they have different cards)
