Did I do right PreFlop??

Would you lay this hand down???

I had good position with AKo.

Had one call my raise but BB Jacked it all in. From the 30 hands I have seen he is Loose-Aggressive/Passive.

I figure at best I'm a coin flip.
At worst I am a big dog.
Party Poker No-Limit Hold'em, $ BB (10 handed) converter

BB ($21.09)
UTG ($12.55)
UTG+1 ($29.65)
UTG+2 ($21.75)
MP1 ($13.75)
MP2 ($51.55)
MP3 ($16.45)
Hero ($24.65)
Button ($24.65)
SB ($6.36)

Preflop: Hero is CO with K[img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img], A[img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img]. SB posts a blind of $0.10.
4 folds, MP2 calls $0.25, 1 fold, Hero raises to $1, 1 fold, SB (poster) calls $0.90, BB calls $20.84 (All-In), MP2 folds, Hero folds, SB folds.

Final Pot: $23.34

This is the 2nd similar situation that has come up this week. Do these type of players pop it with AA or KK???

Easier if you have a read.

It's tempting to call because a lot will go all in with AQ, AJ, or worse. Of course, they'll also do it with 88, too, and you're a dog to that.

So, think I'd have played it exactly as you did.

I fold here every time without a read.

However, there are some villain's that I've actually seen go all-in in a cash game every hand for about 10 hands in a row. If this is villain's 11th all-in in a row, then I probably call. If this is a tournament with high blinds and antes, then I probably call expecting to see a steal more often than a real hand.

But here, easy fold. nh

Easy fold ? I rule out AA and KK here because generally people slowplay these on the 25NL, i call here and expekt to be a favourite more than 60 % of the times. But if you have to small of a BR for the game you probably fold but if you have a good BR for the game I would call.
