What do u do?

Call and lose you've still got plenty of chips left...call and win and you should get a seat. Call every time unless you know villain doesn't bet anything other than a set here.

I'm leaning more towards a call, but fold is acceptable... I think you have to give him credit for a big hand here, and to be honest I think he has exactly the same as you, AK...

insta-call.

I dont think he pushes with a set here.  I certainly dont anyway, i'm more likely to try and jam on a non club turn. 

I think he probably has a club draw.

uhm. actually alot of people will push sets here. and expect to be called by AK or AA and love it. plus you can afford a pass. if you call and lose which i think is more likely than people are letting on. then you're average thrown into the mix. it's a sat. play it safe ffs.

Yeah after the hand i thought why on earth did i actually call.  Theres no need to risk the chips there when i can fold and be CL by miles any way.

It may have been a 'good' call, as i had him crushed.  But i dont think it actually was a very good call.  Truth is, i didnt even think about the situation after the flop, i just snap called it.

In the end i lost the pot, and missed a seat anyway.  But won 2 seats for the event so nvm.

It's a good enough spot to call..you just got unlucky here. it would have sown your seat up if your AK had held up.

good call, better luck next time...!

12 left i'm more inclined to pass. I don't think you can pass up this opportunity when you are so far out still.
