I would raise 150 more and if he call or raise I'm done.

Why do you want to play AK HU out of position? Decide if he has AA/KK and push or fold preflop accordingly.

How is he gonna just "decide" this? Unless he's played with this guy a bunch and he is very predictable, there just isn't enough info yet.

Why not just call the small flop bet and fold the turn UI to any sizeable bet?

Ummmm, isn't this an easy raise, even with any two?

The guy is clearly not happy with the flop, and bets weak.

Don't think too much. If you over think why he would min-bet, you will second guess your decisions too quickly.

He showed weakness, so ATTACK. If he shows any resistence, its not hard to get away with.

Why would you do anything but raise here? I dont understand whats so hard about it?

[freemoney]

lol because so many bad players have jj here and say i dont wanna lose him let me bet a little and then someone with AK pays them off here, folding pre isnt so bad and durron's decide if he has AA/KK and push or fold is really bad advice.

[SlackerMcFly]

There is ~245 in the pot and you have AK and are HU on a non-scary board.

It is 30 to call (approx. 7:1 pot odds). Do you think that AK is an 8:1 underdog here? Just a thought.

[Ryendal]

Well I believe the JJ hypothese or another trip and if we call and get our ace or K, we can't be sure of what to do.
That why I'd prefer to try to get some information by seeing him fold at the flop after my raise.
Yes it's a little tricky.

And preflop, what do you want to say freemoney ?
To fold without any raise ?
Because after the reraise I could'nt fold it.

[freemoney]

ur OOP and if an A or K come off you usually arent going to get paid, i think folding pre is prob best...
