AK late in live tournament...

[BlueBull]

Late in tournament. 13 odd players left. 7 at our table. Blinds at 500/1000. My stack is about 21000. Only top 3 pay. Two very big leaders at the moment have probably half the chips in play so take them out the equation and I have a pretty reasonable stack. Lots of players with similar.

In big blind I get dealt AK clubs. Player 1 pushes all in for about 11000. She hadnt played a hand since we were moved to that table (at least an hour) and had been generally tight all day. My read said she had a pocket...?

Is it even reasonable to think about folding at this point?

At this stage although your stack is reasonable in comparison you're heading towards difficult times and need to start making some moves.

She may well have a pocket if she's that tight but with her stack getting short she could have wider range than this. I she has a lower pp like queens you're coinflipping and I think now would be a good time to push and aim for a big stack to reach the money places.

So I call

I could be very wrong here and you'll require the outdraw to the flush but still think you need to call here

I would put her on a somewhat wide range since she has 11bb and call. Making the money is great but I would rather win. You have a great hand and if you lose you're still in it.
