Bounty Hunter - 2 pre-flop shoves - do you call with AK?

GaryQQQ

What do you do in this spot guys and why? This is the early stages of a low buy-in Bounty Hunter.

Player A has just moved to the table and this is his very first hand. Bizzarely he quickly open shoves his 63BB, I have no notes on this player, he is unknown to me.

Player B has a bit of a think then decides to stick his stack in too, this guy has been playing a very loose and aggresive style. He may be on tilt, in the previous hand I doubled off him with my pocket 7s against his aggresively played 42o.

I don't love it but I call.  2 bounties in the middle.  Chance to become a big stack early on in a MTT, if not we can log onto another.  AK is going to play well against the ranges, let's take the race.

Think this is an easier call than it looks.

Obv you're snap calling the open shove, and the 2nd shove shouldn't concern you too much due to his stack size.

So I just pretty much ignore the 2nd shove, and snap call as I would have had he folded.

I'd just fold.

Think its a snap fold 1 person who shoved has you covered so only 1 bounty from what i can see?? if you have both covered i think its easier to call but not at risk for 1 bounty with nothing invested other then 1bb

If it was a friday night i would call (always run well on fridays)

If it was any other night i fold (only ever win races on friday)

This is a very easy call in a BH

It's a high variance play, but an easy call for me too.

A huge open shove like that is almost never AA or KK, so can I safely assume I'm flipping against the unknown at worst. The short stack shoving makes my call a much easier decision. I can now assume that if I bink an A or K I'll be more than doubling up and taking a bounty too, so the second shove actually makes my call much more profitable.

Player A turned over AQo, Player B had Q9o.
