$33 Hand #2

I hate AK early. How should I play this? Should I take a flop after his reraise? Or should i push like I did to see 5 cards?

He won with 88 by the way.

im still trying to understand the raise sizes here. did you raise to 125 first time around, and he re-raised to 190? if so, i probably fold/call there ....dunno .... i just think that if i find myself all-in pf in level 1/2 w/AKo im doing something wrong (no reads of course)

[ZBTHorton]

I call when he re-raises and fold to any non A or K flop./

Yeah true.. should have called.

Something I try to keep in mind.

If your going to take a coin flip early in a tournament, try to be on the good side of it. =)
