    I get in this situation alot and i just want to see how people play it. Table situation early in the tourney only about 10 hands in. Ive been pretty active raising alot of hands because the deck is hitting me (preflop at least). raising alot and c-betting, taking tiny pots down. Lost one hand where i had JJ on an 8 high flop vs sheets and didnt see a possible way he was bluffing for all his chips.. so basically i had a bad image, nonetheless alot of action not much fold equity with AKs. Is it necessary to gamble this early or is my fold right. Ignore that i woulda filled my hand on the flop as its pretty irellavent.

    I probably call. When you are very active and you pick up a pretty good hand, you want people to play back at you. You're going to get people to get it all in with AJ and AQ on that flop. I think your more than likely to get paid off if your AK hits against pretty weak hands.

    man i cannot believe u folded that preflop...id be all over that flop with 3 way action with AKs and its not like his re raise was huge....630$ pot and it costs you 210$ to call..i know ur UTG but your holding AKs you have a loose image...ppl r gonna start re raising with weak hands...3/1 odds wit AKs to see a 3 cards im all over that / repopping all in their preflop to see all 5 cards garenteed or take down a decent pot preflop.

    you have to call there preflop wit 3/1 odds a pot off 600 wit 210$ to call...wit AKs...wit a loose image....insta call for me / re raise all in for max value possibly due to the fact you are UTG and get to see all 5 cards no matter what and a chance to double through early on wit a monster hand...or take down a decent sized pot of 600$ in the first level.
