    Default $3.25 6 max bubble hand (AK)

    Am I wrong not snap-calling this?



    PokerStars No-Limit Hold'em, $3.00+$0.25 Tournament, 100/200 Blinds (3 handed) - Poker-Stars Converter Tool from FlopTurnRiver.com

    SB (t6115)
    Hero (BB) (t1280)
    Button (t1605)

    Hero's M: 4.27

    Preflop: Hero is BB with A, K
    Button raises to t1605 (All-In), SB calls t1505, Hero???

    Total pot: t4490

    ew

    I think I'd fold. and I almost never fold AK.
    Playing big pots at small stakes.

    I would call, but it would be interesting to see an ICM on this hand, I would not be surprised if ICM would say fold

    I call here. You are the short stack and you have AK. I can't see how you're suppose to money if you fold in spots like these.

    ICM can't make this a fold surely?
    This is not my signature. I just write this at the bottom of every post.

    I'll run the ICM later but this seems like a super straight forward fold to me. Remember it's a 6-max so we're on the bubble

    Wait a minute I've misread this.

    I didn't see the SB call

    Of course it's a fold. I thought button had pushed and SB had folded.

    Well I was multitabling again and took the full time and called

    The button had 77 and the SB A-10, and I doubled up when I caught the K

    Afterwards I thought it was a bad call though...

    I just ran it in SNG Wiz, and assuming that Button shoves 23% (22+, A3o+, A2s+, KJo+, K9s+ and QJs) and SB calls with 15% (33+, A8o+, A4s+, KTs+) then calling with AKo is -9.7% EV (which is just about as -EV as things get) and we can only profitably call with AA and KK.
