All in preflop with ak

I'm Interested in knowing how many people think that going all in preflop at the begging of a poker tourney is a great play. I personally think that its horrible bc you take the chance of being taking out of the tourney and for what, the measley blinds?lol I play at carbon alot and see the same play so often.. Please feel free to give your honest take on the matter

It depends on the tourney. If its a turbo and you dont have many blinds maybe 10BB left, I'd push without a second thought everytime. If the tourney just started I would never push all in because statistically you are behind if someone has a pair and you're not much of a favorite over 2 live cards.

Depending on the hand, I say anything above Aq suited, except for mid pairs is an allin. You might be wondering why mid pairs aren't good for me to go allin and that's because I would like to see a flop. it just seems like every time I had a midpair there are so many over cards that it seems redundant to even have called in the first place.

I would in a free roll. In a paying game i just cant bear to go out when i have invested my hard earn cash. So for me its a Fold all the way. the game is won over time not the first hand. So the thought of me wasting my time waiting for the tourney to start getting settled and going out first hand does not appeal so i fold .

Just what the rest also says, you should consider the situation you are in. Calling an all in would for me be considered to be fairly bad, while shoving with the same hand is thought to be way better. My advice is: to a raise: Shove. to an all in : fold. Thats what I think very simply stated
