    Call all day long.
    Its SB vs BB , the villain has a 17 BB stack and is pushing here with a range that Ak is beating most of the time.
    If you do not call here I would suggest you are playing way to tight, this is a great situation for you. Even if i had been at the table for a while and the villain was tight I still call. If he has AA or KK then so be it.
    Also if you lose you still have a 30BB stack to play with.

    sigh looks like i made the wrong choice.

    I normally call too lightly so was being more protective here.....

    AK is a monster 6 handed and you should never really fold to an open shove from a 16-17bb stack. especially blind vs blind. AK owns his range so much

    I know a lot of people say AK is only A high but you have to think what would the villain be pushing with?
    Any Ax Kq Kj K10 you are dominating, any pair below KK you are flipping, there is only two hands in the deck you dont want to see.
    In the later stages of the tourney AK becomes more and more powerfull because of stack sizes and players opening ranges widen to steal the bigger blinds.
    How did you get on in the end? Did you cash?

    Hi
     Not looking at others but imo call. His csi is 11 and a little more desperate, you have him well covered and would still be probably an average stack if you lost. He may have PP so you would have46:54 equity or dominating him if he is Ax. AA, KK unlikely as he'd want you in pot surely.
    IMO this is too good an opportunity to push for the FT and of course a definite cash. Cheers...

    I did see this on the FB page the other night Carl and I meant to reply but forgot. It's a snap call for me.

    Min cashed in the end, ironically through donking my stack by calling light with JJ. Should have called this and folded the JJ!

    Thanks guys.
