Default AK suited in BB (Preflop Question)

100NL 6M, I've been sitting for 15 hands

UTG (50/20 ish) raises 5BB
Btn 14/0 (But I've seen him around this week on my other comp and he's this tight usually) calls.
SB folds. My move? I feel reraising is bad since my good flops will be very obvious, but UTG's raising standards may be very loose and the BTN may be set mining.

I don't understand what you mean by my good flops will be very obvious.

Raising here is pretty solid. You often have UTG crushed and if he does call this reraise (which is just about always) he will go broke if you both flop an A and he has a worse kicker. Also, button will likely fold a PP if you raise. Also gives you nice FE against UTG on a flop that misses both of you.

he doesn't know you have AK.

and if you smoothcall and the flop comes A or K and you continue playing on the flop, your hand is fairly obvious too.

I think reraise is pretty good.

only time I would advise against it is if say UTG will have say 89, bets, button calls, you reraise AK, utg calls, button folds.

flop comes like 9 6 2. you bet, and he doesn't give you credit for the overpair.

against these type of players, you might want to reconsider reraising.

I am not afraid of being behind the raiser, but should i be worried that button calls? Or should my thinking be that he is thight, and is likely to fold to a reraise?

I guess if you raise you just have to play very carefully if button calls, right?
How do you like calling and taking a flop?
