AKo BB Lvl 2 against UTG minraise

[thesharpie]

Should I be calling the minraise and see a flop? Once he reraises I should be folding even though I'm getting 3-1 right? He's gotta have AA KK or QQ?

I hate those stupid small reraises. What level is this? I would push the second min-raise. I know it seems like AA or KK, but in my experience, Ax and 22+ is just as likely when there are still lots of donks around. If he has AA or KK so be it, fire up a new one. Also I *may* even be a weak-tight batch and call considering I'm OOP for the rest of the hand and recently I've realized my advantage comes later in the match.

I think that the re-raise was absolutely the right move, though raising twice the pot was maybe a little heavy. Min raises usually indicate inexperienced players or weak hands, though usually both. I'll use it occasionally though, such as when I'm UTG with a monster at a tight/passive table, and I don't want to fold everybody, and I wouldn't mind looking weak. villain's re-raise suggests to me that he knows he's got a live one, as he's raising you just enough to give you decent odds to call. A read would help immensely here, but I'm tempted to fold A-Ko pre-flop after that second raise. I'm a slight dog against a pair QQ or lower, and I'm obliterated by KK or AA. My only hope is A-Q or A-J, and villain is playing that pretty irrationally if that's what he has. Very unlikely that I'm in a good place here, and there's little dead money in the pot to make it worth my while to go heads up. I'm out pre-flop.

Post-flop, we're getting 3.7:1 with two cards to come, so we do have odds to draw to our overcards, but that's assuming six clean outs, which is unrealistic. You've still got 425 at a low level, and therefore still got a chance. Fold on the flop.

I wouldn't re-raise AK in this situation. I'd just call the 30 and see the flop.

To clarify the end of my post above, I meant I would call the 30 and see the flop, not call the reraise.
