AMRN:
flat call preflop rather than re-raise.
as played, fold - likelihood of him raising UTG, then shoving to your re-raise, whilst holding something worse than AK? Possible, but unlikely.
AK is only ace high after all. Why risk your tourney with Ace high when still holding an above average stack, and with no reads on player to suggest you might be ahead.
I reckon he had a mid/hi pair - 99 to KK

If he had a mid/high pair then we r getting the right price to call.
Eck:
Did you set out with the intention of turning AK into a bluff, never folding after putting 1/3 of my stack in that would be terrible?
If you are prepared to raise fold here then don"t raise but i see nothing wrong with getting them in here. Also I am assuming this is in Nottingham so it is even more +ev imo.

In a cash games, yes clearly. But for our tourney life? I would already be happy to push with AK, and accept being called by QQ.... but not so sure I want to be calling for my life with AK.
deanp27:
i hardly ever 3bet fold AK - and i don"t here, not with the structure of the £50.
don"t put a third of your stack in to "see where you are" and then fold. If you are going to do this then don"t 3bet in the first place.
