Default Re: 10/25 AK hand. I don\'t like the way I played it.

unless your opponent is just a complete fish, I don't really see you getting calling by a lot that you can beat here. most competent players are not just going to shovel chips in the pot with KQ here.

I really think you overplayed your hand here, starting with the reraise preflop. if he does have a hand you want him to have (like AQ,KQ), your reraise is going to scare the hell out of him and make your hand almost transparent. By playing this the way you did you might as well type in the chat box "I have AK or better". against a good player you are going to get action when you are crushed and the rest of the time you're going to win a small pot. if he's a bad player then great, but even most bad players at this level can get away from a pair when you play the hand like you did (basically as straightforwardly as possible).
