Re: How do you play AK early in first 2 levels?
Hand 1: It's still early, a fold probably is fine there.
Hand 2:
Problem 1: You have ace high.
Problem 2: pre-flop raiser does not bet behind on a ragged board that you were not likely to have hit (translation: the flop hit him, possibly hard)
Problem 3: A min-raise on the turn means he wants to keep you around (again a sign that he has a hand)
Problem 4: Such a small bet on the river indicates the same thing, he has a hand.
Result: At every step of the way villian is telling you he has got a hand, so: I would not bet this on the turn. Had I bet, I don't call the min-raise with ace high, and I don't call the 200 on the river.
Reality: Having said all this, villian probably had A-J and its all wrong.
