Having 16 big blinds in a recent home game tournament, I raised 3 big blinds in middle position with AK. A late position player 3-bet up to 8 big blinds leaving him just 5 big blinds (I had him covered). I figured the choices were either stop and go (call and shove on the flop regardless of what comes out) or just shove pre-flop. I shoved pre-flop.


Folding AK pre-flop with 16 big blinds wasn't an option.
Of course I can sometimes fold AK pre-flop with 100 big blinds.
It gets kind of complicated with stack sizes that are in-between. What is the smallest stack size you've ever had when folding AK pre-flop?
