AK versus Regulars

by Unam1337

We are at the beginning of a $22 "Sit and Go" tournament. Unfortunately,
our table selection didn't work out as it should have and we have quite
a few good regular players like UTG, MP1 and CO at our table. All other
players are pretty bad, just like the most at this limit. We haven't
noticed anything specific about the players yet, but it we have seen a
lot of preflop calls.
