too much value here to avoid playing the fifth best starting hand

technically speaking vs a range of hands it would be argued that AK is a stronger hand than tens

With 6x and a running ante, it this is his entire range, he shud be lynched!
SirPercival:
Depends on your attitude to the prize money IMO. You are going to be looking at a gamble most of the time so are you willing to risk the difference in prize money between going out now against a possibility of laddering a few places or better?
You have the button next hand. Stealing the odd blinds and getting your chips in first putting others to the test is an option to ladder a few places and gives potential for a better spot to double up. With a 3 way pot there are more potential overcards that could bust you. Why is the button putting his tournament at risk when he could wait a few hands? His range (given the limited information available) is going to include any pair, possibly any Ace, and any 2 paint. CL must call and from what you say could have ATC but being UTG might narrow that a bit.
For example, if cl has ATC with 1 overcard, say kh 4d and button has my favorite hand ah jc you are winning 42% of the time giving you a stack of 40k.
I was in a very similar situation during my WSOP event in 2006 (400 out of 2800 left, 280 paid) I pushed with my 10s and was against QQ and AK - fml ;D
LongshanksED:
This stage in tourney and with your stack I"d make a crying fold. not happy about it but Their will be other spots. Your probably facing 2overcards from one and probably Another pair lower than yours but JJ is a possibility. If your up against 4 overcards then there"s a good chance your going out.
Early stages of a tourney it"s an easy fold also
