Hero has Kd Ad (flush, ace high).
CO has Ks Jh (two pair, jacks and sevens).
Outcome:

I usually don't feel comfortably in this spot holding AKs since i think its value is much overrated, especially in this rather early stage.
should i have moved all in instead of just calling the reraise? after i decided to play the hand i was comitted anyway so maybe I should have pushed my chips in.

what do you think? would you have played AK here?

EDIT: pf action: UTG raises to 350, MP2 raises to 650

(don't know why it is messed up but after a few new trys it won't show the amounts either. must be doing something wrong.)

uhhhh.... I believe the hand converter messed this one up. Says there was raises, but didn't say raise amounts etc.

Try again?

wow.. That's some pretty sick action preflop. I really don't like this spot at all.

To be completely honest, I might fold here. It may be wrong given the buyin amount, but with action like that and an unmade hand, I don't like it. But... also if we look at given the buyin amount, these guys stack off with AJ,AQ,KQ,QJ...I could go on. But this early in a SNG and if i feel i'm a better player I'll pass on a situation like this, which is likely going to be a multiway pot that I will need to catch in.

However, I think this is a clear shove/fold situation. You have a raise, followed by a reraise, so you have to shove over if you intend to play. This would shut down all other players left to act that hadn't already invested (unless they have monsters of course), and you could possibly even get UTG to fold leaving you in a HU pot with MP2. Also, as you stated your probably aren't going anywhere after the flop if you do just flat because it's such a huge raise preflop. So go ahead and get it in here while you are still racing or are a favorite. Also, if you do just flat and it doesn't get shoved in by anyone preflop, it's gonna be a sick hand to play when you miss a flop.

So to sum it up either shove over or fold here. I lean more towards a fold because it's early and the play at these things is so bad I feel I'll have more chances to get it in as a solid favorite. However, shoving over probably isn't a bad play either.

Hopefully one of the better players will clear this one up.

What XxStacks said - shove over or fold preflop - and considering the buyin I would probably shove over since there is a good chance you are ahead of their range. At a higher buyin or if you had reads that UTG and MP2 were good players I would fold this pretty quick. Either way, I would never ever ever flat call in this spot.

As played, once you do flat call, I am never ever folding getting like 5:1 pot odds and with almost half of my stack in the pot.

thanks for the feedback. i thought so too that the flat call was a bad play. at this buy-in i will play AK aggressivly most of the times even early. as you said, the range of hands that is raised and shoved all in at this limit is very wide.
