But with the fact that shoving is better than calling, we don"t we put the BB in that same frame of mind, with also the added information he has in the we only raised and not shoved ourselves - making his range more open to perhaps the norm in this situ.
Despite alot better players arguing against, I"m still calling as I"m still not convinced

So lets assume he has a reasonably realistic range of 88+,AJs+,AQo+ - our AKo has just under 50% equity in this spot, and given that he is the only player at the table that can bust us, we are calling for a flip for our tourney.
If this was a normal MTT, then I would agree that it could arguably be a good call - but that"s cos we would be playing for the win, and trying to gather all the chips in play. In this spot though, we don"t need to gather all the chips - in fact we are only a short way from owning half the chips in play which would be the average stack when the seats are awarded.
I really don"t understand why people think taking a completely unnecessary flip against the only player that can hurt us at this stage in a satellite would be logical play when we have such a big stack.

It would be an easy fold if we were almost a lock for a seat but I don"t think we are. But raise folding the top of our range seems dirty to me. Bvb situations can be very specific spots dependent upon history etc but I"d so want tocall this off. What were your intentions when you raised? Were you going to raise/fold?

Nope, got to fold here. You"re too well stacked and in a great position at the business end of the game. Never calling a potential monster for my tournament life pre flop with Ace high.

fold. Dont need to flip vs the other big stack.
