[hand_history]Poker Stars, $11 Buy-in (4,000/8,000 blinds, 800 ante) No Limit Hold'em Tournament, 9 Players
Poker Tools Powered By Holdem Manager - The Ultimate Poker Software Suite. View Hand #37710027

Hero (SB): 47,742 (6 bb)
BB: 105,514 (13.2 bb)
UTG+1: 275,126 (34.4 bb)
UTG+2: 63,156 (7.9 bb)
MP1: 87,986 (11 bb)
MP2: 323,274 (40.4 bb)
MP3: 506,310 (63.3 bb)
CO: 67,589 (8.4 bb)
BTN: 226,412 (28.3 bb)

Preflop: Hero is SB with A

UTG+1 folds, UTG+2 raises to 62,356 and is all-in, MP1 folds, MP2 raises to 322,474 and is all-in, 3 folds, Hero ?

Lets consider UTG + 2 range: 22+,A3s+,K9s+,Q9s+,J9s+,T9s,98s,A9o+,KJo+,QJo

MP2 range:
QQ-88,AJs+,AQo+

We have 39% equity versus those ranges, but we are getting pot odds of 44%.

Should we really be folding AKo here ?

You have 6BB; make your stand. It's not as if you have much fold equity to wait to be first in. You have blockers to AA, KK - and he may well have flatted these to induce.

Never EVER folding AK in this spot... you have a premium hand, 6 BBs left, and a chance to triple up... no range analysis needed at all...

6 BBs ?? i would be all-in here with any two cards (well, 90% anyway)

I read through the hand and thought "eh perhaps it's a fold" and then I checked how many BB's you had and started laughing. Seriously, if we are calling this then there's something wrong. This is a snap call, you have 6 bb's dude, what hand are you expecting to shove with? Albeit there was a raise and a shove, we should be pretty happy here to be flipping.
