AK in BB
 

I know it's been discussed and articles written (not this specific) but.....

how do you play AKs or AKo in the BB is you have 1 limper (say middle position) and the SB calls? loose/passive table...how does your play change as you have more callers? 2+SB....3+SB

Raise pre-flop in all of those situations

It's an easy question.

no one folds when there are 4 callers preflop and you raise from the BB. Sometime I feels like it is better to just limp in the BB if you get 4+ callers and play from there.

If there are only 3 I will usually raise.



just looking to see what everyone thinks/feels...i don't think it is that easy of a question.

You'll have more than your fair share of equity with 4+ limpers. Raising pre-flop is definitely +EV.

you're not raising to knock people out of the pot.

For the time being, I corrected his post. There are few situations where checking AK in the BB is correct, especially at microlimits.

it is. AK is too strong a hand to NOT raise.
