AK preflop debate
 

Daryn and I are arguing about this hand.

One of us thinks you should threebet preflop for value.

The other thinks you should just call in order to not inflate the pot and give the field the chance to correctly call bets on the flop.

I think the play can go either way, personally, I don't mind not 3-betting here since I hate playing AK OOP against a large field of limpers, and any hand is getting a correct price getting something like 11:1 on the call if you raise.

Just as a note, I'm usually a full-ring NL player, so I really don't deserve any respect.

If this is daryn, you're a retard and should kill yourself.
If this is drudman, sorry, that's wrong logic.

1900 posts and you're considering not 3-betting AK, because of POT ODDS????

This is an easy 3 bet. Not giving people pot odds? hell you could fold PF, and the pot would still be big enough that they have the odds to call with anything, so your raise doesnt suddenly change that issue.
