5.5$ KO place

[rryu87]

well... not really satisfied with the result, but i got 7th out of 798 in 5.5$ KO tourney. made about 100 $ including couple KOs but the final hand keeps haunting me! Please take a look and tell me that I should have folded...
ILuvThisDealer << was sitting on my right and kept on pushing every single blind during BB vs SB. I waited and waited for a hand and still got backslapped... frustrating thing is that I was even able to fold AK suited on the button to avoid huge crippling after seeing two all-in infront of me during middle of the tournament and to go out like this is kind of .... you know...

Good call IMO. Especially considering he was trying to bully you, probably, and evidentally, shoving with almost any two.

What I have discovered is you have to make a choice...cash as deep as possible and rely on luck or give yourself the best chance to take it down. If you want the former, you fold there and wait for aces or a spot you can push. If you want the latter, you snap call because he's being a bully. If he has ak, or qq or better, gg. If he doesn't (which he won't a majority of the time), you get it in good (or a coin flip) and have to hold up/hit. That all being said, no matter what strategy I want, I'm never folding to that situation there, ever. EVER. Your M is just over 3 which is tiny. This was a great situation to call and he got lucky. Nothing you can do.
