you overplayed AK, you bet out over half your stack?

ok, it's tough I know.. AK 6 handed is very powerful, if you get in early position (up front) it is always good idea to bet out 3-4* the big blind, if someone moves all in behind you, you need to make a difficult judgement.. is he pushing with a Ax (i.e ace with a weaker kicker), where you have him totally dominated, does he have a pair in which case your 45/55 as long as he doesnt have KK or AA, or is he pushing with trash?

you need to make that judgement based on past observations and an old maxim is that the best players can and will fold AK preflop if the math dictates it

At this stage of a tourney, 6 handed and 2nd in chips you dont really want to be playing either 50/50's or situations that your 20/80 (if he has AA or KK) and certainly not for all your chips ! Infact, you ought to be very aware as to what players can do damage to your stack i.e those who are 3rd or 1st in chips and bully the smaller stacks, dont get tangled with these close calls with folks who can bust you.. thats the best advice.. save them for later

if you bet out 3x Big blind (im not sure what was) and if he moves all in behind you, it is absolutely correct to fold as you dont really have any pot odds to justify such a large call .. and you live to fight another day ..
