Cooler or Easy Fold?

Tourney $10 - 17 places paid - 29 players remaininng - 8th placed

Blinds: 4k/2k ante 500 (blinds increased every 10 min)

Hero (MP+1): 105k
Villian (BB): 158k

I made the raise to 3BB. Just the BB made the called. I had AKo. The flop was 8c Kd 3c. BB checks, I bet 20k. BB raised all in. I quickly call thinking about the flush draw from him (KXc)

He shown K8 and he won. About the instance of the tournament. Maybe could be an easy fold? Then when I think, I always have to put him in Double pairs or maybe a set...but if I were folded I just had 15BB and then avg of chips were 85k.

Nope this is a snap call, high five your mother, do a dance around your chair kind of call. He can have many worse Kx,8x, possibly even 3x and alot of flushdraws, AK is only behind a tiny fraction of his range, K8, K3s, as he would probably just call with a set.

I think it's easy to look at this hand results oriented - probably 75-80% of the time villain has a flush draw and he is either hoping to get you to fold or hit his flush. As Riverbanged says, AK is behind such a small part of his range as played as he is calling his sets for value later.

I think you made the right play.

I think this is a fold and ICM suicide. Your 8th and close to the money.
What kind of hands do you lose to that will flat in the BB? Pocket pairs which made a set, K8 which is the only reasonable two pair as I think 83 should fold in the BB.

Could also be losing to slow played aces or kings though this kind of hand is just a cooler.

easy call !
if u see his complete range: kx + sometimes 7x + FDs u got easy ~80% in this spot when he snapships. just a cooler ! and also u r not really close to the bubble...
just unlucky, gg
