Final Pot: $990.08.

The limp raise was real scary, but he didnt call for a long time so a assumed he had QQ. However, it turned out he didn't call for a long time because he was typing "I have AA...GL bud" Anyway, my question is, is a limp raise ALWAYS AA or KK? in my experience it is about 90% of the time. Still, i find AK harder to laydown to a limp raise than a standard reraise.

I think re-raising PF against a limp raiser with AKo is a bad decision, especially for your whole stack... just call with position and see what the flop is. But jeez, I can't imagine a great flop for that hand without being scared to put money in (unless it's AAK). If you hit a king, it's dangerous waters, and if you hit an Ace and he goes all in... you probably have to call, even if he has top set.

learn to dicipline your self and don't take shots drunk

just lay AK to any suspicipious preflop things vs unknowns, and you will be doing your BR a favor.

yeah i almost always lay down AK in a situation like this, but i was drunk and not thinking. also, i have seen ridiculous hands limp raise me, such as a suited A or people who dont know how to play 88-JJ will often limp/raise.
