AK possible sandwich play

[Roland32]

I was getting 2 to 1 so I called. Which I think good odds w AK. But what if it was 1.5 or 1.25?

just me mind you, but i don't reraise w/AK here to often. his PF raise should be plenty to maintain your position on the flop.

by allowing him to be "the aggressor", you'll likely cash in on his certain c/b when YOU hit the flop. when you don't...damage is limited.

likewise, when you DO reraise the pot...you still maintain position, but are more than likely facing a c/b decision on a HUGE pot (assuming you miss the flop) -- or even more troubling...facing a calling decision on a modest lead by villian, despite your reraise.

this one? i think you have to call. you're facing a monster pot - unfortunately vs. a rereraise. hope he flips &lt;KK and suckout!

He actually had AK to unfortunately w spades so he flushed out but heh.

hey Bluefeet that was me when u spiked that Q on the river a few minutes ago!
