Read: Reraiser is a donk, but I've never seen him reraise pf before. Is this standard?

I'd actually fold to the re-raise. You still have 20bb. I don't like to tangle with donks when they re-raise, they can still pick up hands.

Tough spot if he has never been raising before. Looks like high pair. Do you want to risk your stack for a coinflip at best? There are better spots. I vote for fold.

Would he re-raise with AQ here? AJs?

If yes, push.

There's a time and a place for pushing, I just don't think this is it. I mean you still have a more than healthy stack for the table, and although AK is a very good hand, mixing it up with a donk who will give you his chips sooner or later anyway, and who has you covered, seems a bit silly, I dunno. If this was 75/150.. sure.. push is a lot better then.

if his range was qq+, AJs+, AQo+ he is no more than a 53% favorite. He shouldn't blow 20BB for a coinflip.

exactly. hero has a perfectly healthy stack even after the raise.

maybe i'm more conservative, but i still might fold to that re-raise at 75/150...

[tigerite]

I might fold it at 75/150, it would depend on other factors then though, such as I would have raised more than 300 for a start off.

Thanks for all the responses. I guess I have no FE here.
