Tough spot, i dont recall ever folding AK that way, but its hard to put the CO on AQ+ there. Usually its JJ+, AK. You may have made the correct fold, but I would want the chance to triple up. I tend to gamble three ways with AK. If anybody has AQ you are good, equity wise.

I don't think I am ever folding AK for under 25 BB's even three way like this. It is just way too strong.

I don't fold there either. You block AA/KK and CO shoved 22bb, so you're most likely up against hands like 99-QQ/AQs.

Push or fold when your stack is down to 13bb or less.

What is this for a call with 25bb to a shove and with 30bb we are folding? You guys want to say with 25 bb and ako we openraise and call the shove? Which range can we with 25bb openraise and call the shove? AJo+, KTs+,KQ+,QJs, 88+ ?

Edit: I am asking this because other $11 Tournament from yesterday I have almost the same situation here. But its a deeprun with 35bb, down to +-300/4167 players left
