my thought process you might ask?
"ZOMG AK ALLIN!!!!!!!!!!!!"

i dunno, i guess im just a fuckin donkey.plain.and.simple

Great squeeze play. Unfortunately they never work.

I prolly would have folded PF. UTG donkey is raising to 10xBB and any raise we make essentially puts us all-in. The question I ask myself is, "Am I willing to go broke now with AK?" MP1's call is the reason I'm folding. Granted, we might be in good shape, but it's too early to be flipping a coin for our tournament life.

Depends on your style I suppose. If you're great with a big stack I shove every time.

Pretty easy fold. There's a 10x raise PF from UTG and then a smooth call from EP. We can't think at all that we're ahead here.

yea this was my analysis after i busted out. a huge leak in my MTT game is not taking my time to analyze each hand in each situation. i have the patience to fold 50 hands in a row if needed to, but then 1 hand BAM all my chips in the middle and im wondering how im broke

btw UTG had AK and MP1 had AA

my instant thoughts when someone raise 10xbb is that im folding and i hope he wins a big pot so the donk can double me up in the near future....when someone else only calls the raise, im also putting him in the donky category.

by putting my above well thought out reads into action, ur gonna get at least one caller here by pushing and should very well expect both guys to call you.

this early, i wouldnt like to put my life on the line against both with AK when we're prob gonna have to come from behind to survive and when we can easily stack them later with a made monster.

on the other hand, if ur also a complete donk, u may as well push and hope for the best
