    Default $11 - AKo facing a re-raise all-in early

    Should I call this? I couldn't do the math here.. I figured I'm behind his range but what about ICM or pot odds?

    Full Tilt Poker, $10 + $1 NL Hold'em Sit n' Go, 30/60 Blinds, 9 Players
    LeggoPoker.com - Hand History Converter

    CO: 1,390
    BTN: 1,780
    SB: 1,315
    BB: 975
    UTG: 1,705
    Hero (UTG+1): 1,605
    UTG+2: 1,440
    MP1: 2,180
    MP2: 1,110

    Pre-Flop: (90) K A dealt to Hero (UTG+1)
    UTG folds, Hero raises to 180, UTG+2 raises to 1,440 and is All-In, Hero ???

    Comes down largely to what range you give him, predominantly whether you can put any weaker aces in his range.

    I fold this early.

    I had AQo+ as his range and maybe AJs.. 99+ as for the pocket pairs..

    Do they shove AA or KK here?

    AQ+ makes you around 50% v's his range so you can call based on pot odds. I havnt run ICM but I imagine its much the same.

    If his range is AQ+, 99+ you're 48.5:51.5 so with dead chips its a call. If his range is AK+, 99+ you're only 41:59 which makes it a fold I think. If you make his range AK+,99-QQ you're still only 45:55, but if its AQ+,99-QQ you're now a favorite at 53.5:46.5

    I wouldnt expect most opps to push AA,KK here, most would raise to 500 or so, but its not impossible.

    Unless I have reads otherwise I probably get a bit conservative with ranges, so I fold, that could be a mistake here though. This might be one where I fold to avoid the risk but better players say if theres an edge to take it.

    I call this almost every time - people do this with smaller pairs, AQ, and AK. You rarely see people doing this with KK+.
