Default Re: Party $20+2: AKs first hand - Do we gamble?

In my experience, in the face of this large size of reraise and the fact that you have an A and K in your hand makes it a lot less likely than 40% that villain has KK or AA. That said, I'd pop this will a smaller raise, maybe 100-120. This will still shake loose some players, however it allows you to more easily get away from a situation like this. Otherwise, if you want to raise so much that you would feel you'd have to call any re-raise due to pot odds anyway, why not just pop it all-in here and give yourself the best chance to snag the 120 without a fight?
