Hi all,
I'm playing in Lucky Chances at $9/$18. The players are loose, and have some aggression. Anyhow, I have A /images/graemlins/diamond.gifK /images/graemlins/diamond.gif in BB and it's folded to button who open raises, SB folds. I'm very weary of blindstealers, and I believe this guy to continue his aggression despite not getting any part of the flop. I decide to call down to the river no matter what happens (ok, barring any really ugly boards such as 4 clubs, hearts, spades).
Question #1: Should I have re-raised here?
I generally don't like reraising AK unless there's people already a number of limpers already in and I can add equity to the pot in case A or K flops.
Anyhow by the time the river came, there was no A or K and 3 clubs on the board and open raiser bet all the way with Q /images/graemlins/club.gif9 /images/graemlins/club.gif and he happened to turn the straight and river a flush.
Question #2: Was my predecision to call down all the way a poor one?
