Is the fold ok, because it's too much action for AK imo?

No it is not. You should shove.

This is early, lots of donks will turn up way less that AK. Get it in and quadruple up, id not load a new one.

i 2,5 never folding AK, but 8s and 15s would be easy fold.

Idiots get in all sorts of crap even up at 15s etc but here looks quite a bit of a strength so folding is ok, I think ****** factors makes this a close call though at the 2.5s - although reads help

I don't care about the minraise here, AK vs ATC vs ATC isn't that big of a favourite.
And there is a raise and a reraise which look really strong.

I would fold if a reg was in the hand, otherwise I think it's like a break-even play...

Heads-up I'm always getting it in

Easy fold as for me... Its early stage of tournament.
And AK isn't preflop nuts, which wins all the time... So, I prefer fold too...

Maybe I'm wrong...

Not a bad fold at all, too much action going on before you so a fold is in order.
