Message: [QUOTE="bgarric, post: 1604538, member: 73308"] Pre-flop early tournament I think it's nonsense to push with AK. The only times I would maybe do this is if there was an 'all-in goblin' at my table. I've been in tournaments many times with these guys. They simply All-in with pretty much any 2 cards. Generally they get lucky with 8 3 off or something like that and double up. Many times they will continue to do this until someone at the table with a pocket pair or something like AK finally calls them and puts them down. Otherwise AK is simply something I may raise/call a raise with pre-flop (especially early tournament). If you hit, great continue to bet, or even push then, however putting my entire stack at risk early tournament I'm not too fond of; especially when my opponent may have a PP or some ridiculous rags that could just as easily catch because they could care less about the outcome of the hand. Just my .02 [/QUOTE]
