What's everyone's move here?

[aaronk56]

I'd call. If you're up against one pocket pair, they'll probably call a push and you're on the wrong side of a coinflip. If you hit the flop, you might be able to get someone's whole stack playing a worse Ace.

[durron597]

Folding is horrible, you get the chance to have a raised pot with 2 opponents with AK. Yippee!

So then there's raising. I think it's pretty likely that one opponent will have a medium-big PP and will call you. I don't think that's outweighed by the times that AQ calls you. So I would call here.

[tigerite]

Obviously, any raise would have to be a push.. I also side with the call group here. I'd have raised a bit more though to 75, 55 seems weak.

[SonnyJay]

Yeah, the odds you're getting on your money are pretty awesome to have with AK. I agree with durron that between the reraise and call you are very likely against at least 1 pocket pair, and you have no fold equity here. Take a flop and play it confidently if you hit.

*EDIT: I also like tigerite's raise to 75 instead of 55.

[wuwei]

You have position. Call and see a flop.
