Default Re: Small edge w/ AKo?

Would this be a better spot to re-raise and just pick up chips?

The thing is, that for re-raise and just pick up chips you can use 52o. I had a feeling that in this particular situation, you gain maximum value for AKo by trapping these players PF, and yes, playing a big "bust or 2.5xup" pot (there's also a chance you'll be left with half your stack).

After the hand I had second thoughts about it, but the math does show it is definitely a clear +CEV spot, and since it's still relatively early in the game, you should have very good reasons to play it in a less riskier way only to survive it, IMO.
