    Default A-K decision

    Live sit-n-go. I have a huge chip lead (a little less than 2/3 of the 35,000 chips in play). We are three handed, so everyone is in the money. Other 2 have about equal stacks. Payouts are approximately 5/3/2. Blinds at 400/800. I’m the SB. UTG (first to act) goes all in for 6900. I have AK suited. I believe that I can outplay both of them. Call or fold? and why?

    I would note that I eventually made my decision based on a read (which was based on UTG's prior play) which turned out to be correct. However, assuming that I did not have any read, what is the best decision?

    I cant see how you can lay it down unless you have a read (but heck of a read!!!!) that he is on AA KK!

    If you have 10K in chips it may be another ball game, but here with 22K... no brainer IMHO!

    KJ

    100% insta call unless your opponent is so, so bad and unbelievably tight that he will only ever do this with JJ+ or AK.
    In that case you would get more equity by folding here and pushing all in every hand as he will likely blind away before he finds a hand to call you with.

    EDIT:
    I believe that I can outplay both of them
    Do you mean by this that you are more aggresive than them? They have a stack of 9BBs each in a 3 handed game - the definition of outplay is who say's I'm all in the most frequently.

    CAAAAAAAAALLLLLLLLLLLLLLLL. Heck I call with a hell of a lot worse than AKs here .

    Unless the read was the guy turning aces over and shoving them in my face whilst going "haha I've got aces, I'm all-in, beat that!" then it's a call every single time.
    For Free Money, Rakeback and some 6x Ongame bonuses, I recommend PokerSource.

    I recommend Cardrunners for superb poker coaching. It was honestly the single biggest improvement in my game signing up there! Sign-up fee might seem steep, but it pays itself back within weeks.

    Lots of good rakeback options at http://www.rakeguard.com/?raf=KRE8R

    KRE8R probably has about seventy college funds in his NL5 roll.
