Re: AKo in the SB
A little confused by what you said, but I think I get the general gist with the preflop argument. I agree this isn't the time to get fancy. Joker, you got a premium hand with 3 other players in. You have huge value in capping preflop.
By going for the auto flop c/r, you're essentially getting the same money in as you would by capping preflop and auto betting the flop. The only difference is your equity is higher preflop than it is right here. I know you want to protect the pot, but this pot's already huge. Even with a c/r on the flop, everyone is getting 8:1 (or 9:1 if both flop checks cold call) to see a turn. With a pot that's going to be as big as this, I say go for the value of the PF cap instead of trying to protect an already inflated pot.
