Default Re: AK squeeze play--good,bad, awful?

I don't like this play.

I hate the limp preflop, especially in a 6 handed game. With about $18 in the pot your now pushing in another $97. I think you take this down often enough or end up in a coinflip often enough to make this ok.

If you reraise to $40 then you are going to have a very tough decision if you miss the flop. You're probably going to have to check fold. If you flat call the raise you're going to be looking at a 4 way pot OOP and could easily go broke to a better hand even if you hit your A or K.

I think reraising to about $25 would be a good move and will probably get the pot heads up or even take it down. If you're called you still have enough to make a stab at the pot since they have to fear a big hand with the limp/raise from EP. If you're reraised all in then this is probably an easy fold.
