215: Reraising preflop with AK out of position
There is either this line, or just calling preflop, or checkfolding the flop (which I don't like at all). What do you think?

I'd call preflop and check-fold this flop. I think that any hand that just calls your reraise preflop is loving this flop so I don't like the push. I'd expect to see QQ-TT here a lot, and if he has AQ you're making a guy with three outs fold.
EDIT: AA/KK aren't impossible either, his PF raise is very strong with two limpers in front. |

I don't like the re-raise pre-flop.
I'd call and check/fold post flop if no A or K show up. You have Ace high. |

Re: 215: Reraising preflop with AK out of position
Yea, I think that it's a better play to just call preflop. But when I reraise and that flop comes, do you push or checkfold?

Re: 215: Reraising preflop with AK out of position
Well, atleast you have the Kh.

Re: 215: Reraising preflop with AK out of position
Awful. If you're going to just push any flop with ace high, you might as well push preflop, frankly.

Results
I got called by AQ and doubled up. That was kinda why I posted it, because it felt like a pretty bad play but got rewarded so much I started thinking maybe it was a good play, lol...

Re: 215: Reraising preflop with AK out of position
Ok, Morbo, I think you should consider moving down a level.
Re-raising AK out of the BB is generally a bad idea because you're building a pot out of position with a hand you will miss the flop with 2/3 of the time. The times you do miss, it will be difficult to move your opponent off his hand because, well, he raised with it, so he probably kinda likes it. [img]/images/graemlins/grin.gif[/img] If you want to re-raise AK in this spot, there's really no other move than to push with it. This removes your positional disadvantage and allows your AK to see the whole board. Personally, I would flat call the raise and play the hand from there. On this exact flop, I'm check/folding to any reasonable bet. Hope that helps. |

Call preflop. Or - if you're wanting to put 30% of your stack in preflop, why not just push preflop?

Re: 215: Reraising preflop with AK out of position
I think calling is correct here, but am I wrong to think that folding would be better than OP's line?
