    So I decide to play bigger stakes, because I met JOEYTHEB in AC and he told me I am wasting my time in smaller stakes...FWIW...I play the 30R/A late at night..Holding my own..30 people left..pays 27..I am in about 6th or 7th place...Not playing many hands...( although every time I play one..Gavin seems to be in the pot with me..must see my stats)...

    I get dealt...AKs..UTG+1..I raise 3x BB....Gavin Smith..flat calls from MP...and the BB goes allin with about 16BB's...with Gavin on my left....WTF is my play here...( BB was playing a lot more pots than I was..but not too spewy)....

    P.S. I am never afraid to bubble...

    if the guy to your left was named ipwnsouls would this make your decision any different. TBH this is a pretty simple iso shove....you're never folding this hand I hope and you don't want it to be a multiway pot.

    Easiest iso shove ever. Cuteiswhatiaim4 could be lighter than you think here cause the dead money of Gavin Smith's flat and he doesnt care if he bubbles, and you have Ace King sooooted is this weak mtt. And as a side note open to 1500 pre here to try and induce some light shoves/ 3 bets esp on the bubble.

    Snap-shove, call "ACE! KING!", and wimper gently and the board runs out 7 high to vs. his 33.
