I actually put him on middle pair. 88 99 TT JJ were all good guesses. also he might have folded QQ,

He'd maybe even fold KK there (of course nobody would play KK like that ehheeh) but what i mean to say is that considering the way I played it preflop, it was very very hard for someone to call me witout a set.

few people push that without aces i think

oh, my table image was of tight agressive (my vpip for this session was 16)

All he was representing was a set. And I guessed he'd either raise more with one, or slow play it.

Why do you want to play a big pot OOP with AK? I know he has been pushing you around but you need to pick your spots.

Full ring, you don't comment on MP, but you're showing him no respect - perhaps with reason - in any event the pf reraise is bad OOP w AKo. Whats wrong with just calling?

Also, looks like you'll have position on your nemesis most of the time, make your stand then.

If villian is smart, he knows you're waiting to make a play at him.

Call PF. Check/Fold flop.

a) he's even stupider than you thought
b) he thinks you won't push QQ+ here
c) he just sucks and doesn't think about anything

i vote c

Why is a reraise so awful here? I understand that he's OOP but that still gives him first chance to bet postflop.

I just didn't like the size of the reraise. I thought making it $180 was a little too much.

When you call w/ AK, you'll miss 2/3 times (I know you guys know this)... and then when he CBs you're probably done with your hand.

If you reraise and he calls, HE'S probably the one missing 2/3 times (and not necessarily feeling comfortable if he hits a piece). Therefore, you gain a much better chance to win the now inflated pot.

As well, if he thinks you're going to make this play against him, why not do it with a great hand like AK, where if you *do* hit you might get his stack?
