Overbet with AA
2-table Step 2. First hand of tourney, I limp for 10 in 2nd position with AJs. Two more limpers. Middle position raises to 70 and takes pot.
Second hand of toruney, I limp with AKs UTG with the idea of limpraising. Another limper. Same miiddle position player raises to 225. Late position player pushes. I call. Original raiser calls. Late position player shows KQo. Middle position original raiser shows AA.
Given this was the second hand, and he had taken the pot with a raise the first hand, maybe the overbet was a good play, making him appear to be a maniac. Otherwise he might have only doubled up against me, rather than tripled up.
I think I had to play AKs like it was the nuts preflop in any level of a Step 2. I wouldn't play this way in a Step 5.
