    Sorry no hand history available here so I'll lay it out. Daily dollar on FTP. I'm sitting on the button with a k off when utg with similar size stack M=8ish, blinds at 400/800 100 ante, shoves all in. Big stack mid pos, M=15ish reraises all in covering most left. Pretty close to the bubble at this point. Both of these villians had been making relatively reckless raises and reraises like this since they came to the table, the bigger stack with a lot of hands like ace rag or k j off from early pos. The smaller stack not showing much. Was I wrong to risk my tourney life here to triple up and make a surge on the bubble, or do I have enough chips to lay this one down even with the gut feeling I'm good(which I was)? I call for my tourney life and lose. Early pos initial raiser shows a q off, mid villan shows 6 7 suited and hits the 6 on a ragged flop to ship the pot. Is this a spot where it shouldn't be hard to get away from a k or did I make an appropriate call maybe not quite gambling but close? Thanks for any input.

    This is a call with at least 88+/AQ+, maybe a little wider.

    this is a call 100% of the time based on your short stack and the crazyness of both villains. you dont want to inch into the money with barely any chips and bust shortly afterwards. go big or go home. if you win this hand you are going to have 30-40BB and be in much better shape to make it deep. unlucky that the bad player got paid off, but dont look at the results, look at the decision, and the fact that you made the correct one

    With players of this type, I'm going to jam AK, and damn the torpedoes!
