AK is not an implied odds hand, it is the king of reverse implied odds. The fact is, when you call a reraise preflop you are hoping to flop TPTK 30% of the time. Those times you will not win much more when catching your pair puts you ahead, but you will lose a lot when you make 2nd best. With deep stacks most players dramatically overvalue AK, then again with shallow stacks plenty of players dramatically undervalue it.

I know, that's why I asked how deep he needed to be to make the call with AK *knowing* he had AA.

Everyone flamed me in the "Hand with the Masters" thread for wanting to open limp AK in EP.

I do that because of the big reverse-implied odds, you often either win a small one or lose a big one.
