[DOMIT]

In reading some posts, I see that there are people that advocate pushing w/ AKo preflop with LAP's (Loose-Aggressive-Players) in the game.

I had this situation just this week when the wife and I visited Commerce Casino. I'd seen two LAP's push all-in (or near enough for the other player--i.e. a big bet that covers him) with meduim and small pocket pairs.

One time, the situation was to me this way. They had seen me raise 5xbb (3/5 blinds; $200 buy-in) to 25 w/ AKs (I have around 200 at this point). I'm in late position, only one limper. I make it 25 to go w/ AKo, and one of the LAP's in the BB makes it 200!

First, if this was heads up, knowing his modis operandi, would anyone call all-in?? I would think not, just due to the odds..a wired pair is still the favorite.

Second: instead of raising, should I have pushed? I can't really see that being the right play with only $13 in the pot.

Interestingly, the limper reraised all-in (just re-bought and had slightly more than 200 after winning a small pot). I quickly mucked, thinking the limper might have been waiting for the LAP to raise and slow played a big pair.

As fate would have it, I saved my stack. LAP had 22 and made a wheel on the turn. Limper mucked and stalked off, not showing.
