AK vs agg EP playalong

[Guruman]

help me see this hand better. I must be blind.

Party Poker 1/2 Hold'em (9 max, 8 handed) converter

table was loose when I showed up but has been getting tighter.

Preflop: Hero is CO with K[img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img], A[img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img].
<font color="#666666">2 folds</font>, MP1 calls, MP2 calls, <font color="#CC3333">hero...

[TredWel]

Gee, I hope this wasn't the difficult part of the hand...

Raise. Next please.

[Guruman]

It stops being easy pretty quickly for me.

Preflop: Hero is CO with K[img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img], A[img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img].
<font color="#666666">2 folds</font>, MP1 calls, MP2 calls, <font color="#CC3333">Hero raises</font>, <font color="#666666">1 fold</font>, <font color="#CC3333">SB 3-bets</font>, <font color="#666666">1 fold</font>, MP1 folds, MP2 calls, Hero calls.

I can already hear everyone screaming to cap this preflop. Its an autocap most of the time, but against mp2, I wanted to try and get a little more value should i connect postflop.

Flop: (11 SB) K[img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img], 3[img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img], J[img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img] <font color="#0000FF">(3 players)</font>
<font color="#CC3333">SB bets</font>, MP2 calls, <font color="#CC3333">Hero raises</font>, <font color="#CC3333">SB 3-bets</font>, MP2 calls, <font color="#CC3333">hero...

The important question is, "How agg is agg?"

[TredWel]

Call me a wuss, but I've seen enough to get me to slow down. I'm calling here. I hope SB's overplaying QQ or AJ (in which case I want him to continue betting at me), or we're chopping with AK (in which case I want MP2's money as overlay). I don't think either situation is very likely, but likely enough for me to see this hand through.

Edit: missed that villain was agg. I'm still calling, but I reserve the right to pop the turn when he bets into me instead of just calling down.

I suppose by agg that I meant he kept betting and raising from EP here. he was something like 25/10 after an incredibly small sample size. (like 30 hands)

I agree with Tredwel, might as slow down since we're either chopping with him and don't want to knock out MP2, or we have him badly crushed , or he has us badly crushed. There's always the offchance he has something like A[img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img]Q[img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img], but other outcomes are alot more likely.

Do you think its worth raising for value if mp2 will come along with a worse hand?

[TredWel]

It's not a raise for value if the only person getting any value from it is SB. Equity-wise, we need to end up with the winning hand 33% of the time here. Like I said before, I don't think that's happening.
