Re:The $4.40's are hillarious!
I know there's not a lot to be won in the 4.40 but it's still one of my favorite tourneys on stars apart from the deepstacks. The field is reasonably small so it doesn't take forever and there's plenty of donks to help you build your stack. Please don't ever be limping AK in these unless it's only to reraise some aggro player behind you. raise it 3x and hopefully get a call or two by Kx,Ax type hand and stack then if you hit pair on flop. usually a cbet will take it down if you miss and if it doesn't dont put any more in pot.

Re:edit: Rate my bluff HU
You'd be lucky if villain folds 5-10% of hands in this spot. Even aggressive villains dont make 4 bets that often. maybe if board was paired you might get more folds because aggro villains will bluff more in those situations but I can't see it being enough to make the shove good.

Re:Sick play or spewtarded?
Pretty spewy defending blinds by calling with garbage out of position with blinds so high. Either 3 bet or let it go.

Re:How would you have bet this hand?
A quick shove on river trying to look like a desperate bluff with the board pairing. or A small bet trying to induce raise then quickly shove over top.

Re:Weird spot with TT in Midnight Madness
The flat call was bad but calling all in against two players here would be worse so fold looks good.

Re:CALLING SNG GRINDERS
When you go all in the short stack gains equity because in this case there's a 50% chance that you'll get knocked out and he'll be in the money. Unless big stack was pushing a huge percentage fold would have been better. You need a much stronger hand to call in bubble situations than you would shove with yourself. Without fold equity your hand needs to be that much stronger to be considered equal if you can only win the pot by showing down the best hand. Im not usually a big fan of the "independent chip model" but for bubble situations ICM is really useful and is worth ...

Re:Should I have folded?
Your shove was marginal with a weak ace. You got to expect to get called because you don't have enough chips to have fold equity. Better to save your chips and be the one raising with a better hand. In this situation you'd want to be holding say 55+ KQs, AJs+ to shove without fold equity. There was nothing wrong with villains raise because he was first in from middle position with better than average hand and you being shortstacked in the BB weren't a threat to him.

Re:did i make a wrong move
Yeah you made the wrong move. The call pre flop wasn't horrific but calling all-in with a gutshot on that board was. There's no guarantee the short stack would have blinded out if you folded pre flop but it is strong possibility. If you were going to make a call like you did on flop then a 3 bet shove pre flop would have been a better move if big stack had been raising a lot of hands.
