but I'm still not sure about what to do with AK.
1) How's my reraise here? With a minraiser and a bunch of callers, I wanted to issolate (good idea?). Is it too agressive/anti-survival to be putting 1/4 of my stack on the line for AK so early (this is level 1)?
2) When this guy comes over the top of me, I'm pretty sure I'm not dominating an AJ or AQ, but there's a chance. Maybe we're tied, but I'm thinking 66-QQ (prolly not AA or KK because of how he opens). I call because of the advice on the forums about trying to get your money in preflop with AK, but have I grossly misapplied it?
3)When villian flips QQ, I'm fairly content. That's a bit stronger than I expected, but i have two live cards. Should I not be happy with his having QQ or any pair for that matter? Should I only be getting my money in the pot preflop with AK when I think I'm dominating? Or do I play it like I did and ride it out against PPs?
