    Would like to hear some thoughts on the following hand. I was moved to this table maybe 15 minutes prior and had been holding my own. I was playing above my bankroll but sometimes like to take shots in tourneys like this. Alkatraxx had been playing a pretty tight, solid game and had folded to a reraise of mine (KokerPong) once or twice already. The hand in question is #5 where I have AKs. I make a standard 3x raise he reraises and I shove. Is there really anything else to do here bsides shove? Would anyone just call and see a flop? Don't think there's any way I'm folding. Especially if you look at the prior hand where I also standard raised and he reraised back, I had to fold. I know it's a cooler but just wondering if there were any other options I could of chosen. Thanks for any feedback.

    With blinds that high I wouldn't raise 3x. I'd be more inclinded to raise to 3850 or so. It will accomplish the same as a 3x raise and you save 1k if you have to fold. But AKs vs QQ is standard. You played the hand find. He played the hand fine.

    Thats just tournament poker deep in a tourney, you gotta win a few races. Although I think you coooould have flatted, because you have to put him on JJ at worst. If you miss you're still not in horrible shape, although I have no idea what the avg stack size was.....
