I agree with avoiding coin flips and 3-2 situations (ie AK vs 67).

WTF? I can see folding AK if your opponent has a pocket pair, but if you
are knowingly folding AK to 67, not only is that stupid, but if I was at
the table and I knew that you did it, I would call you on collusion.

But how can you prove it?  Now you are just being silly.  AK is a great
raising
hand, but not that great as a calling hand...whereas I would push with them
fairly regularly, I would only call a push with them with great care.

I remember that time in a local casino, 6 players left of 67 field rebuy
MTT, 8
pays....Having played tight most of the evening, I pushed with 78 from the
button, SB folded, and BB folds facing up with AK...SB went mental, calling
us
all type of names.  He thinks AK is an auto call everytime.  But I think he
was
also mad because everytime he made a move, the BB would reraise, then shows
hand
as such AQ, Ax etc when he mucked to the reraise.

There are some instances when AK should be folded preflop, I'm not
disagreeing. In this example, the big blind DOESN'T KNOW you have 78, and
probably thinks he is in a coin flip to a pocket pair and thus didn't want
to race for his tournament life (personally, I would have called a button
push, since the range of hands is so large, but a fold isn't terrible
under the right circumstances, and I would not have ranted like the one
guy did in this situation.)

What I am saying is that if your 78 had been exposed (as a couple of posts
in this thread have already suggested), and then the big blind folds AK
face-up, I'm probably going to call the floor.
