MP2 (t730)
MP3 (t785)
CO (t580)
Button (t460)
SB (t2145)
BB (t725)
UTG (t965)
Hero (t755)

Preflop: Hero is UTG+1 with A[img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img], K[img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img].
<font color="#CC3333">UTG raises to t75</font>, Hero calls t75, <font color="#666666">4 folds</font>, Button calls t75, <font color="#666666">2 folds</font>.

Flop: (t270) T[img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img], K[img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img], 8[img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img] <font color="#0000FF">(3 players)</font>
<font color="#CC3333">UTG bets t225</font>, UTG folds.

Turn: (t495) Q[img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img] <font color="#0000FF">(2 players)</font>

River: (t495) K[img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img] <font color="#0000FF">(2 players)</font>

Final Pot: t495

hmm it seems okay, its tough spot. Once you start calling off more than 10% of your stack though you should be careful. For instance if you had 500-625, I think you should definitely reraise.

I don't see anything special about this hand. Seems normal to me. I know some people love to reraise with AK preflop but I think calling has several benefits (much lower chance of being reraised preflop, disguising your hand if a favourable flop falls).
