    Just wondering what people think is the optimal way to play it. I know its situation dependent so here are a couple:
    9 person SnG, 8 players left, avg stack around 1700.

    1) blinds 50-100, UTG (2400 chips, won pf allin qq v jj, no other reads) raises 3 x, fold around to bb (3000 chips) who has AKdd. What is the bb's optimal play?

    2) same situation but raise from MP...

    3) same as situation 1 but you have a caller from MP..

    thanks for any input...

    In each case, I'm pushing- AK isn't a hand I like playing out of position, so I want to see all five cards.

    Cant go wrong shoving AK vs. a single raiser with no other callers say less than 40bb's.
