Call push + overcall with AK ($33 6-max)

Results 1 to 5 of 5

    Default Call push + overcall with AK ($33 6-max)

    UTG is 27/24 (106 hands), a tad loose but not overly so. Button is 68/18 (35 hands), bit of a loose cannon but not sure if he's going to overcall with garbage. It's 6max. If I call and win I'm ITM, if I call and lose I'm down to 2BB. Should I let this one go?

    Party Poker No-Limit Hold'em, 33 Tournament, 100/200 Blinds (4 handed) - Party-Poker Converter Tool from FlopTurnRiver.com

    SB (t5080)
    Hero (BB) (t2940)
    UTG (t2540)
    Button (t1440)

    Hero's M: 9.80

    Preflop: Hero is BB with A, K
    UTG raises to t2540 (All-In), Button calls t1440 (All-In), SB folds, Hero ?

    Haven't run this in SNG Wiz (and I'm not sure whether it can handle that much action) but my sense is to let it go. Being second in chips you have a serious ICM effect going on here:

    equity win tie
    Hand 0: 35.965% 33.26% 03.37% { 77+, AJs+, AJo+ }
    Hand 1: 30.497% 28.73% 02.34% { 55+, A9s+, KQs, ATo+, KQo }
    Hand 2: 33.539% 29.52% 04.64% { AKo }

    Agreed. After you fold the situation will be one of the following unless they split: you are 3 handed and only one away from the money, or you are still 4 handed but one guy is badly crippled, putting the table dynamics in your favor to pressure him out. If you were the big stack here with 5080, probably call, but you're not. Fold.
