I wouldn't call with my AK depending on how many go all in pre-flop. I think that from 3 to more the AK off must already be losing.
What do you think?

In the early stages, if there was more than one player paying the 3 bet , it would possibly hang up as well. But another factor would be the size of the 3 bet and also the player who made it, as sometimes having player information can help our action. But it's a hard hand to turn off!

An all-in upfront that covers my stack pre-flop in the early levels or in the bubble auto folds my AK. I sat down to play & ITM & not loose all in 1 hand. Except when the dark devils whisper "wtf dump ass fish u need to have fun!" then I auto call. :cool: Note: AK is the 2nd best hand pre-flop so don't think its already losing regardless if 3 or more are all-in. Anything can happen in gambling but at least the odds are on ur side until AA shows up.

Hello
I actually only fold AK when I'm on the bubble or there are more than 2 players who go all-in, but there are also individual cases depending on the situation.

AK is just a hand that any pair is better against, so don't overestimate this hand!!! In addition, a pair of kings has a chance of about 70%!!! There are many factors to consider when going all-in with this hand, such as the number of blinds, position, opponent's aggressiveness and stage of the tournament!!!

What do you think?
I've folded AK in several situations, especially when the hand comes to me, with a 3bet and a 4bet, but of course you have to evaluate the situation very well, especially when you have information on your opponents, that's why a Hud helps you a lot in these situations.

Like a lot of people I tend to call most times with AK os. The rare occasion I don't is when on or very close to the bubble depending on chips I'm holding.

if I'm in last position and 3 people or more go all-in, I'll drop AK and I won't regret it but if we're left alone I'll call

The question is not quite correct. It is necessary to know what actions there were before All-in, what position, stage of the tournament, notes on the opponent.
you are a bit confused. AK hits the flop 1 of 3 times (these are the percentages you mentioned)

If two pairs are not AK on the board, the player is playing actively. In general, you need to understand what the bets were on the flop.

An all-in from a villain with more chips than me, close to the bubble, would make me think a lot about calling.

allin preflop to more than 3 players I think you are very right, you are dead in many occasions, it is better to enter with another more premium hand like AA and KK.

After assessing the situation, what opponents are doing, and so on, you can watch the flop
