Is calling an option?

[ferb]

no. i think the preflop raise should be larger though.150-200.

[ZebraAss]

I wish I could. I am not a big fan of AK early on. I usually just play 10 10 +.

[Mr_J]

I like the small reraise. Don't like the idea of risking 150-200 on a hand that most likely needs to improve.

I don't see how you can call the all-in & call considering your small preflop raise. By keeping the pot small preflop you want to limit your losses when you don't hit (I do the same).

[ferb]

why not just limp and keep the pot really small then. With three limpers in front of you a 75 raise almost assures you at least 4 way action and as it turned out 5 way. call me crazy but something has to be said for having position in an unraised pot with a premium hand. cheers.
