UTG bets t600, 4 folds, Hero raises to t2545 (All-In), 3 folds, UTG calls t930 (All-In)

Flop: (t3285) J, 10, 7 (2 players, 2 all-in)

I do not like this. Against UTG I have 10 BB effective and 13 or under is according to the chart with AK a push. But I always flip against him and i am in a safe zone with my stack.

Same story here only now i have only 13 BB and then it is always a push with AK. But also here I don't like it because it is always a flip here. And I want to win this tourney because I am better not because I win more flips.

I know it is the meaning to put only 1 hand in a topic but I think they are very similar.

Hi all,

Hand 1 is played well. What if he has AQo or AJs?

Hand 2 is closer because he is quite deepstacked and he's raising UTG. So in this case it's different to if he has 13BB himself for example. However usually our equity against a bigstack's raising range is still good. He might even be so bad as to raise a wider range as a bigstack here (it's not good to do that).
