full table, im in CO, blinds 15/30 (level 2) stacks 1500 each roughly, i have AKo

UTG raises to 60, i raise to 200, he minraises to 400, i call,

flop is some 10 high rainbow garbage, nothing connected

he bets out 200, i fold (??) [everyone else involved in the hand folded.]

This looks awful when I think about it, but the way he played (double minraising) seems so donky like it would _have_ to be AA KK QQ for sure.

Just me, mind you...

I don't reraise w/ AK in the early levels. Unopened, or over a limper or two - sure.

You have a decent pot, and likely position (at least over the OR). Take it to the flop
and act "accordingly".

I'm folding this flop action too btw.

Especially from an UTG raise. Without a read, you have to respect this. Unless he is super-aggressive, the only possible hands I put him on and beat are AQ and AJ. Call, and rely on your post-flop play.
