Will post the hand result later but would be interested to hear some of your thoughts

So the pot is 5155$ and it cost you 1385$ of your remaining 3520 to call with AKs (3,72 : 1) and a chance to eliminate two players and get ITM with a very big stack.

I would call without much hesitation.

You have to call because you have too many chips invested already, the implied odds are good and your hand is not that bad. Did you have any reads on the other players?? If you suspect AA is the all in raise, then you are in trouble, but even so I still think you have to call.

At some point you are going to have to GAMBooL
Looking at that pot size/odds and your hand i guess its time too...
You probably need help post flop but i imagine a hit will win the pot for you.

Thanks for the responses

I called, Hassard had A8 and boggeo had JJ, nobody hit, so I won the side pot and was left on 3k. Made a silly play a few hands later though and lost half my stack, leaving me to finish 4th

call without thinking.

The anwser is to NOT minraise (raise it to 750 atleast, thx) the UTG limper and to call this AI when it's back to you.

I didn't minraise, I raised 2x bb, as I had been when stealing. The blinds were 150/300, and I raised it 600 to 900.

Had I raised more, I think it is possible the sb would have folded, but I am pretty sure the bb would still go all in with JJ there.

Hand history was wierd. We need a converter of some sort.
