$50+5, blinds are 10/15.

Dealt AK on Button.

4 folds, 2 calls, I raise to 50, SB calls, BB calls and UTG calls.
Pot is $200.
Flop: 98K

The three others check, then I bet $200. I get re-raised all in by SB. What would you do?

My AK raise at 10/15 is too small. I should be raising
around $90?

How much money do you have? How much is the raise.

It looks like you're early in the tourney, with 9 players left. Someone probably has a relatively large stack (~2x compared to the others). Is it you? Is it the raiser?

I probably wouldn't go all in, but I'd call a pretty good raise.

I am weak with TPTK and would definitely call here, but there are a lot of hands that will have you beat or draw out on you. It looks more like a protection bet, so I'm thinking 2 pair not set. OESD might do this, too.

He had K8 (2 pair). I thought he was probally K+high card. Wasn't really worried about the 8 or 9 for 2 pair since I didn't think someone would call my raise with K8/9. Guess that's why I should be raising more there. He limped into the pot before I raised, and only called when I raised so I ruled out trips.

"How much money do you have? How much is the raise."

Both on around 1k chips. First few hands.

man thats tough.
Obviously, it's not the type of table that respects 5xBB..lol..do any, any more?
I think you're right about the size of your preflop bet--on that table, at least. You've been left without a clue.
I would tend to think a set more than 2p, myself, as 99 or 88 is in there without much hesitation. 98? even suited? hmmmm..depends on idiot factor.
K9s, K8? again--the idiot factor at work.
a stone cold bluff against a possible A-anything holding by you?..possible again.
It's all down to reads, but I'd tend to think a set (at a sane table with average players).
If it WAS a bluff, you're up against an expert or a madman--watch out..ROFL
I'd probably call though--i'm an idiot /images/graemlins/grin.gif
