Ok. You really have two options, and folding is not one. You reraise or you can call and re-evaluate the flop. Personally I prefer to call because we're sorta deepstacked here and also OOP.

You want to win this tournament, right? You don't win it by folding AK to a raise from the CO.

I agree with Try...flat call is good because of the amount of chips both of you have. By flat calling it would look like a KQ or Pocket Pairish hand, so if the A or K hits your implied odds would probably go up depending on what he has.

On the other hand, if you still needed some info on the guy...seeing how he reacts to raises and whatnot...there probably wouldn't be a better time then now considering your stack size and level.

But no...I don't think folding was correct in this situation

Can't see how you can fold here...

My guess is also that he is quite an aggressive player (judging by his chip stack). Even if you had a very specific read that he was, in fact, tight, then I don't fold AK for that raise.

Many would even re raise here.

I would call, if an A or K comes, then being out of position, you can play a trap.


EDIT: And it was a rebuy tourney too... what were you thinking??

OP, before replying I checked out your pokerdb and it was full of 3r and 5 tourneys. Maybe playing outside your roll caused you to play tighter?

I would not fold but I would ask the tournament forum.

9k chips, in a rebuy, with AK and you fold to a 6x raise? nah...i couldnt fold this as other people said, you 2 options would be to reraise or call. folding isnt one of them.

Calling is bad, but not as bad as folding. This is a rebuy. He will call your reraise with AQ or KQ. If he re-reraises then you can fold, but you are way ahead of his range now.
