note this is pertaining to the $100 level at party.
Say, 10/15 blinds, 10-handed, even stacks.
With AKo....
1) utg

2) MP 2 limpers

3) MP 1 raiser to 45

4) Button no callers

5) Button 3 limpers then 1 raiser to 90

Just wondering how you all handle these. Basically I'm thinking of whether AK is worth the aggressive action early or if it's better to wait for the pushing action on party structures and focus on getting in cheap. And does your answer change with AKs? I've taken to tossing KQs and AQs behind raises and not liking to play them EP even with no raise.

At the 100 level, AK is a trap hand early IMO.

UTG - raise to 50
MP 2 limpers - raise to 100
MP 1 raiser to 45 - call/reraise to 125 depending on how frisky I'm feeling
Button - raise to 50
Button 3 limpers then 1 raiser to 90 - Call/push depending on many different things.

I toss KQs unless it's in later position after several limpers. AQ I will toss early or raise it 3BB. I fold it to most raises however, and certainly to a reraise.
