Fold or Call?
Playing deep in a tourney last night on Stars, and I found myself in a situation that we do everyday. Just want to confirm what most people would do and why.
PokerStars Tournament #134680578, No Limit Hold'em
Buy-In: $10.00/$1.00
2124 players
Total Prize Pool: $80290.00
Tournament started 2009/01/22 20:00:00 MT [2009/01/22 22:00:00 ET]
36 players remain, blinds 7500 - 15,000 2500 ante's
Average stack - 300,000
I'm sitting on the button (330,000) with AK off.
Recent move to table, so not much for reads.
UTG jams for 200,000+
Folds to me, I make the call.
Of course, the moral of the story, I lose to 55.
Payout is very flat until you make the final table.
Anyone see a reason to fold here?

I'm surprised Darryl. You know that 55 makes sets . . . >:D
Tell me about it.....was one of those.........fuck! / sweet! / fuck! boards (4,7,10,K:),5:mad:)
Someone please direct me to the Flipament champion.....apparently I need some tuteledge.
I believe that would either be Itsame or Reddington.
Tell me you're joking.
There is no reason at all to fold.
you're right, no fold.
The last final table I made which was in the nightly 50/50 on FTP (55 buck entry as well) had 1200 runners and when we got down to the final 3 tables, here were the options:
Raise 2.5-4x = 10s+
Shove = AK-Ace rag
And...
Anytime you are in the blinds/cutoff/button you are shoving to grab chips with any sort of reasonable hand....K high, A high usually do it.
But OP don't fret, I have been there numerous times shoving my stack of with AK and running into a pair and not improving, but you have to do it to advance through the pay structure. Waiting is not an option at that point.
The decision is not close. Shove the money in there!
