Default Re: What\'s your typical pre-flop line with AK facing a min-raise behin

[ QUOTE ]
This is not a minraise. A minraise is doubling the RAISE that you made, not what you made it to. A minraise in this case would be to 250. You made it from 50 to 150, he made it 150 more to 300. Big difference. People will minraise just randomly with pairs or big suited cards. People will make this sort of raise with almost always a very big pair. I would expect JJ+, probably QQ+. I would call and fold a non-ace, non-king flop. If an ace flops you're probably good, if a king flops I would let him bet. If he overbets the pot or makes a big bet he likely has AA.

Just some fishy tendencies I've seen.

I agree. I think jedinite was pretty clear about what he meant (even if the terms were off) and I read the raise the way you did. I think we're in a certain amount of jeopardy here. On the other hand, this isn't always AA and KK. I think your range of JJ+ is accurate, and very occassionally it will be someone representing a big pair.
