Default Re: What\'s your typical pre-flop line with AK facing a min-raise behind?

As with everything in this game, this is read dependant. I'd give special consideration to what the Villain has minraised before, and whether he makes this kind of play often.

I thought I understood, from a more mathematical standpoint, that you're getting 3.5 to 1 to call, and you'r e probably not a 3.5 to 1 dog against his range, so you should look at a flop.

For me, the problem with reraising is, if you repop to 900-1000 and the villain pushes, do you call or fold? I think if you're going to call a push, you might as well push yourself. Besides any sizable reraise is going to commit 1/3 of your stack.

I'm taking a flop. There are only a couple of hands I really need to fear, and I will trust my post flop play to keep me out of trouble.
