I'm new to this forum and just wanted to share a hand I played in January and see what you think.
We are last 7 of 500 plus in a E10k GTD R/A on ipoker.
Blinds are 7k,14k with 1.4k ante.
I have 172k starting the hand.
The big stack has 629k and the average stack is 324k.
The short stack has 23k starting the hand and has 14k of this in the pot as he is on the BB(so has approx. 7k left if he folds here).
UTG min raises to 28k. I'm in the cut off and look down at AKo with 4 players to act after me( the button(629k),SB(401k) BB(23k) and the guy that has raised(451k).
Immediately I thought that this is a fold ICM wise( the payout for 7th was 333e, and for 6th it was 436e.
I can pick up 60k if I push and everyone folds( 35% of my stack) and if the BB calls with his last 7k I and wins the hand I stand to lose 13% of my stack...but with AK against his BB likelihood I like my chances.
So I tank for a while and go AI for 172k. I get "just called" immediately by the button. Every1 else folds including the BB!!!
He shows KK to my AK. ...Board comes 62788.
What would you do in this spot? Bank the extra 103e or take this spot and go for it....?
Immediately after the hand I was sick...but spoke to flatmates that play poker and they all said they would go all in that spot...
