Default Re: AK in the BB - UTG Raises...

Hey Fight,

This is not a re-raise preflop, especially out of position (it's not even a re-raise if you're suited). As it went, calling the all in heads up was OK, but your mistake was made when you re-raised.

I also can't believe that UTG open raised and then folded here - very weak.

In your spot I call and play AK as the drawing hand it is - you'll make more that way and won't put yourself in a lot of coinflip or worse situations.

Hope it worked out.

the reraise pf is yucky, the call that followed is automatic.

Flipped over AK leaving me with only 3 outs - unless I get lucky and pull a miracle straight.

i'm assuming you mean KK? anyway as la and fsu said, just call preflop. although it wasn't so on this hand, when UTG raises it's usually a strong hand. if you reraise and the flop blanks, you're not looking good as the first to act.
