Why did you Re-Re-raise to 360? I can't think of anything good with that raise.

I agree that the reraise to 360 was dumb/pointless, and then after doing it, I think that calling both of them after they were already all in was even worse.

Would be nice if we knew the buyin, stack sizes, whether it was live or online, etc. etc. etc.

Please read the FAQ for what information should be included in a post.

Folding is certainly a good option.

If you play the levels I do ($6 &amp; $11s) I would flat call because all kinds of idiocy occurs there and it's only t120 more to you.

Reraising however, is not good. While your AKs may be good (as in live) it is most likely NOT dominating both hands. If you're lucky, you're dominating one hand and racing the other (remember though that in this situation you're no longer truly racing as one of your outs is dead). The likelihood of you being up against AQ AND KJ with this kind of action is low.

See a flop and if you miss, let the other two players duke it out, since one most likely has a pocket pair they're not letting go.

If you hit the flop, well you are going broke my friend given the AA out there.

No point in the continual re-raises. I dont think I would even re-raise here after UTG, as he will most likely call the re-raise anyway.

After the BB reraises and UTG calls, I call. When the flop looks like this, I fold.

I never get married to AK at the first level.

It all depends on stack sizes, you have not given them here so its kinda hard. But im assuming its not a party Sitngo since they dont have 10/20 blinds. Im folding here, unless im shortstacked.

After BB re-re-raises, I call and then check/fold from the flop on.

Sorry, it was $5+.50, I should have included that of course, and it was the first hand as indicated in subject line.

Yes but you didn't say whether the stacks are 800 or 1500, there is a huge difference.
