Interesting flop decision, Super Tuesday

Well, first off, I really doubt you're against AK if the player is reasonable. What reasonable player min-raises with AK in SB against a caller and a raiser? Sounds like a pot-build/isolation raise. I really don't think you need to call pre-flop here. Like someone said, what flops are you really going to like?

After you see this flop, you pretty much need to get all your money in. It's WAY too draw heavy. Sure I can see the reasoning behind letting AK bet into you on the turn, but I don't think it is worth the risk that the donk called with J10s.

Someone with a min-reraising range of AA-QQ, AK who knows that 90% of 2+2'ers and other TAG's can't handle a minreraise to save their lives and will fold getting great odds, allowing him to take down the pot even when he horribly misses.

Yeah, but wouldn't this same clever player (you're giving him a lot of credit) push the flop? That's the only way he's going to "take down the pot even when he horribly misses" which he would have here. It sounds like you're giving him credit for being one type of player pre-flop, and one type post flop. Hmm... This sounds more confrontational then I mean it to, btw.

I don't think he counted on donk calling two cold.
