A big pot with AK in MP

[Andrew Fletcher]

Please tell me this is standard.

.5/.10 live. UTG ($1.30) is loose and bad. MP 1 is tightish PF ($16) and currently reading HOH Vol. 1. Button ($4.50) is LAG. I have $12 and have a LAG image.

SB posts .5, BB posts .10, UTG calls .10, MP 1 raises to .75, Hero calls with AKo, Button calls, SB/BB fold, UTG pushes and MP 1 re-raises all-in. Hero folds.

I would have played this differently, I'd repop this pre-flop.

You've got position and can get this hand heads-up. As played, muck looks good.

[Andrew Fletcher]

I was worried about repopping it and then having the LAP re-raise all-in. I don't like re-raising with AK in multiway pots. But I see where you're going with this.

good play...you are at best playing against another AK or something and quite likely facing something like AA and KK or AA and AK etc.

[Andrew Fletcher]

Working on not overplaying AK is a major leak in my game I'm trying to plug.

How bout these apples:

UTG had 22. I was sad when he left the game.
MP 1 had AK
Button had TT. He caught another T on the flop and took down a big pot.

One reason you re-raise is so that it won't be a multiway pot.
