Is this all in on the flop reasonable or stupid?

Flop play is good. Preflop play is atrocious. Raise to like $4 or something.

To 4$? Wasnt that a tad to much at 50NL? I mostly raised 2$ with AK, and used 4$ AA/KK/QQ

If you raise the same with all your holdings you will be much less easy to play against. If you raise to a given amount in a given situation with AK, you should raise the same with KK or 67s.

The size of your raise is not atrocious. It's a pot sized raise. I don't mind it.

EDIT: Oh wait, you are not OP. Sorry [img]/images/graemlins/smirk.gif[/img] The first paragraph is for you then. The second is for emil3000.

[emil3000]

When you open 3xBB is fine. When you raise from the blinds after 2 limpers you need to cut down on their implied, especially since you're out of position the rest of the hand. They can call here and be correct to do so with all limping hands. (aside from ajoff and such maybe).

It's not a potsized raise. Pot is 1.5, so pot size raise is to $2. I like to overbet in these spots. Being out of position sucks.

[wtfsvi]

He raised to $2. The converter messes up raises from the blinds. I agree that a small overbet might be better, but pot sized is hardly atrocious. I think $4 is excessive though.

[emil3000]

Didn't know about converter issues. OK, I take it back, it's not atrocious, just slightly too small. $3 might be the best number, but $4 is better than $2 IMO. Did you see Sklanskys article about raising from the blinds? I believe he recommended something like 10BB after a couple of limpers.
