AKs in SB facing minraise and 3 cold-callers (a 6-max hand)

[Raiser]

PP NL50 6-max game.

UTG has $150 and the rest of us have around the $50 buy in.

UTG seems okay other than the silly min raise in this hand.

I get A [img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img]K [img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img] in the SB. UTG raises to $2, MP calls, CO calls, Button calls. What do you do here?

Thanks in advance.

Make it $10 to go. Pray an A, K hits and I can get it all in on the flop.

Call. You have little preflop folding equity with the cold-callers and the general fishiness of these games. When they call and you miss, they won't fold often enough on the flop to make the play anything more than marginally profitable, whereas calling and hitting a hand that dominates whatever crap they're waiting to overplay is doubtlessly so.

i'd call. you can likely get all-in against someone if you flop TPTK, and you have more flexibility on how to play the flop if you flop a flush draw. raising leaves you in the awkward position of having about one pot-sized bet left in your stack and being out of position.
