    I've got a friend that is really disappointed that he made this call for his tourney life with AK.

    We talked about all the different hands this guy could be shoving with and I still feel it was a good spot to get it all in and race.

    This hand took place in the $30k today. We're just curious to get some feedback and to hear some thoughts on whether he managed this hand/tourney correctly.

    He was plenty deep and could of obviously made the lay down - but would that be a correct play here?

    It's your standard race AK vs KK........

    I can never fold AKs unless there is like 2-3 all ins in front of me, and even then I feel dumb doing it. I by no means play 100% correct though. I think it was phil ivey who busted on a bunch of WPT final tables with AQ, but still plays it the exact same way. I think the call was correct here.

    No info. on his agg. level, but it is pretty standard, if not a little agg. Maybe see a flop, but if he is agg. I think alot of people ship it pf. 20 BB range sucks anyway with AK. I think most are going broke here, the rest c\f the flop.

    lol - have you looked at my stats? I assure you, no one is seeking my my poker expertise.

    My friend was frustrated with the outcome of the hand and I told him that he should not be so critcal of his play. I suggested that he post the hand so he could hear it from more seasoned and knowledgeable players.

    He was reluctant to post it and for my own curiousty, I asked if he would send me the pokerhand link and here it is.

    But I can see my typo above an how you would have concern. However, I can tell you that we are only sharing hand experiences and trying to discuss and improve our poker game.
