    Default AKs -- how g00t is it really?

    Do you push with a raise and a reraise behind you?

    This is my second turbo ever, I guess I'm getting "blind intimidated" even though its only the first round.

    PokerStars Game #2194232641: Tournament #10542987, Hold'em No Limit - Level I (10/20) - 2005/07/26 - 19:25:39 (ET)
    Table '10542987 1' Seat #5 is the button
    Seat 1: FOXndHOUSE (1580 in chips)
    Seat 2: goldbubba (1650 in chips)
    Seat 3: sedated (1180 in chips)
    Seat 4: luedman (1160 in chips)
    Seat 5: 73reibs (1410 in chips)
    Seat 6: RosieBingo (2680 in chips)
    Seat 7: HoboJaws (1500 in chips)
    Seat 8: Kalli Grétar (1420 in chips)
    Seat 9: IBBY2005 (920 in chips)
    RosieBingo: posts small blind 10
    HoboJaws: posts big blind 20
    *** HOLE CARDS ***
    Dealt to HoboJaws [As Ks]
    Kalli Grétar: folds
    IBBY2005: folds
    FOXndHOUSE: folds
    goldbubba: raises 180 to 200
    sedated: folds
    luedman: folds
    73reibs: raises 420 to 620
    RosieBingo: folds
    HoboJaws: ???

    Calling is out of the question because the original raiser still has to act.

    Push or fold?

    I'd probably fold here, I would probably give one of them credit for a high pocket pair, and in that case you would need improvement. Especially this early in the tourney, no one will risk all there chips for something less than a premium hand such as QQ, KK, AA, or AK. But facing a raise and a reraise here, I think your beat in this situation and I would fold. No reason to bust out early in the tourney when your hand still needs improvement.

    I fold here. Definitely fold here.

    himself fucker.
    one guy makes a non-blind-stealing-huge-overbet-raise and another guy makes a large-reraise-with-the-intent-of-getting-it-AI-ASAP and you don't hold KK or AA.

    Ok, thats all I needed to know.

    To play here you need KK or AA. AK does not fall in class with these two.

    Thanks.
