Re: AKo in SB

This is a little difficult. You are not crazy about flat calling 3-way against mid to late position action. Pushing is a big overbet. Making a raise big enought to push any flop is also an overbet. If you make a pot sized or a little bigger raise, you probably wind up playing AK OOP in a big pot. Since none of these alternatives are great, I think they are all reasonable approaches.

can't you just play poker after the flop and not have to preplan what you do before you reraise here? i mean it nice to know what the potsize will be in relation to your stack size, but you don't have to Cbet not matter what. if you make a healthy potsized reraise here to 20ish BB you give yourself a really good chance of taking down a decent sizeed pot. and if they call that big a raise you can probably put them on a pretty narrow range (unless you have notes on them) and then play the flop accordingly.
IMO, if you reraise here you'll likely win 11.5 BB in the pot, and if he's got AA or KK you probaly find out right away. plus it defines his range. if you call you're in a decent sized pot OOP with very little idea of what you're up against. not good.
