Level 1 with AKo

[AlphaWice]

Ah Kd, in UTG +2, UTG+1 minraises to 40, i raise to 200, all fold, UTG+1 calls.

Flop J42 spades, he bets out 330, your move? (pot: 430)

edit: this is a 1500 stacked SNG

fold.

for starters, i don't like your reraise amount. i too might also reraise here -- it can put a quick halt to the piling on from behind, and jam the original raiser a bit, giving you some wiggle room on the flop. but 200 is much to much IMO. 1) you're creating too big a pot to navigate on a miss + a chance to lead out on his check. 2) you're digging yourself a little hole this early - there are plenty yet to act, including the original raiser. personally i'm not looking to call an all-in at this level PF.

raise it to t100.
if he still leads out 3/4 pot on this flop, i'd lay it down without to much regret (having 'only' put t100 in). if he let you lead, or probed a 1/4-1/2 bet on the flop, you could explore some aggression of your own, without overly committing yourself if/when you go to the turn.

I can smoothcall here, with such lousy position, but standard for me is t150.

Sometimes, depending on the player, you want to take a stab at this pot by either smoothcalling and firing turn or raising it up.

But, normally, fold when the flop doesn't give you anything.
