AK in the BB with a few limpers. What to raise?

[1C5]

Party 22. This could be a great PVS but AK is a good hand so no PVS. /images/graemlins/grin.gif What do you raise here?

I'd raise to 200

[smcannon]

I'd put in 5BB, so 250.

[45suited]

i'd probably just push

Well....you can increase your stack by 19% if you get to tookening these chips....you'd like to be called only by weaker aces (or kings) and no pocket pairs. If you push the reverse is more likely....mid pps may call...big pps certainly call...and only maybe AQ, has the ballz to call you.

So what about raising not allin? If you raise and get a caller then ideally the pocket pairs will now fold and the hands you dominate will pay you off when you both hit. If you raise and get called in a couple of places the pot may now be too big to play all that well not HU...but that may be okay here b/c of the value your starting hand has.

So................19% is still 19%....I don't really want to attempt to get fancy with this hand.

I push. But I'm a push donkey, /images/graemlins/tongue.gif.

Who also will then flash AK to the folds...and is somewhat liable to then attempt such a move with not AK in level 4 or level 5 /images/graemlins/blush.gif ...

I raise to 250 and push any flop that isn't AKx.
