    AK

    Ok so a few rounds into a team event tourney and I look down at

    The blinds are 150/300

    I am down to 4500 in chips (after getting my aces cracked by 5-7s).

    We are now down to four tables... Ben S (not me) is in early position and raises to 1100 pre-flop. The action is now on me w/ above mentioned AK...

    What would you do here?

    Depending on how my opponent has been playing, how he thinks I've been playing, and his chip stack, I could either call or re-raise all-in here.

    I push in a heartbeat. And I DID push with AK, all night long. Took down several sets of limps and blinds and only got called once, by Ace 9 and won the hand.

    *wanted to add that I only do this short stacked or semi shortstack.........not with plenty of chips. Then I pick a better spot. But you can't hope for much better than AK when you look and see you only have 5-10x the BB left. And that is what seemed to happen to me all night once the Kings got cracked.
