Bubble of a $1.20 9-man on Stars.PokerStars No-Limit Hold'em Tourney, Big Blind is t150 (4 handed) Hand History Converter Tool from FlopTurnRiver.com (Format: FlopTurnRiver)Button (t2891)SB (t4708)Hero (t2460)UTG (t3441)Preflop: Hero is BB with K, A. 1 fold, Button raises to t2891, 1 fold, Hero ???.This might be the first time I've run into a situation where all 4 players are fairly close to one another in chips on the bubble. All stacks are still deepish relative to the blinds, so nobody was in push/fold mode. This is the only reason why I'm questioning whether to throw away the AK here. Villain had recently brought his stack up to that level with a successful TT push. Virtually no action around the table since that happened 5 or 6 hands ago.

these players do some mental moves... with that said, i think i fold this sometimes but call other times.. pretty much just based on how much hes been stealing/my image/other players and how they play. pretty situational for me. hard one though

Instafold. Not even close.EDIT: You need to be >58% to call. It's probably pretty close actually. I fold though.

Where are you getting this % from? That he's likely to be pushing with a PP here?

ICM calculations.By doubling your stack, you don't double your equity, but if you lose you lose all of your equity. It's not a 1:1 relationship.
