    Think you gotta get it in, but i don't mind the fold v two all ins with the stack sizes they hold - you can find a better percentage spot

    lets say your against 9's and Q's at best your 36%

    There's two questions here....

    (1) do you give respect in a $1 tournament...ever.

    (2) do you want to stack off with facing a 3bet shove for 30BB and, as you say, a tight player flat calling said large shove....NOPE.

    WITH YOUR READS...Find a better spot. Good fold.

    Oh right, you decided to pick the one point on my post other than the answer, and focus on that. Brilliant.

    $1...there's a general reason why people are playing $1 tournaments, I think the fact one of the villians shoved 30BB with A9 proves my point about respecting players in a $1 tournament.

    in fairness to villian i forgot to mention this in first post. I had raised the 3 previous hands in the same manner. However my post wasnt based on him, the single shove (A9 dude) is getting snapped off.

    The other guy flats, and hes barley played a hand. I was wary to say the least.

    definitely bud, Im getting the f00k outta the hand, the fishy shove doesnt bother me, you have AK, arguably the 3rd/4th/5th best hand depending on which way you look at it, Im not folding that there. Its the flat call thats the problem. Even if that guy wasnt "very tight", what range flat calls a raise (albeit you've been active) + a 3bet for 30BB...thats a very narrow range doesnt matter who you are. 

    Its a good fold, you were racing AT BEST. In my opinion you are up against only JJ+AK+....in which case you have 39% equity. 

    How did you finish up anyway?

    i think its a fold given read on small blind - would he likely call as opposed tp shove with AQ or AJ which is really what you would be hoping

    snap call the first re-raise but the call from SB with your reads have to re-assess so good fold

    I came 15th. Guy who was UTG done a similar 30BB shove with AT i had AA QJx flop K turn ended that i was left with 22k back at 2500/5000 the point of no return without a miricle. Win that hand and i was second in chips and looking good for a $300 cash. sigh.

    it happens. i waited for a good spot while blind stealing and i found a perfect one. Its part of the reasons i wana get over my issues with cash because the margins between winning $18 and MEGA BUCKs can sometimes be 10% in a tourny. In cash at least i could have reloaded and got my money back with interest.

    Their lies the problems with tournies, but as I said to you before, it only takes ONE tourney result to change everything.

    Yeah defo i had 2 big ones in may and the pre games where quite similar to whats happening now. Playing well getting deep and getting unlucky. As a result im pretty confident another one is comming. In honesty i feel im improving vastly and i think comments on my last few hands posted are starting to reflect that. Im posting hands where i think im making errors and im getting positive replies.

    Will be trying out cash next week but wana keep a tourny head on ATM for reasons thats pretty obvious.

    I think this is a call given dynamic and pot odds, prob depends on payouts also

    I fold here given the dynamics - fwiw, I think your reading to much into his flat call, the guy behind only has 20K more and the all in covers you so pointless him moving his finger accross to the all in button cos his call is effectively an all in.
