So this was raised, reraised called and the reraised again before you? I would probably fold here.

definitely fold, it could get re raised again and one of the others having AA/KK is very possible

After it gettting popped up again for the third raise i would fold this. AK isnt a made hand and your out of position against all the raisers here. The first two raises seem like an easy call though.

This is one of those "win a little, lose a lot" situations (if CO doesn't have AA/KK, he'll easily drop his hand when an overcard comes; if he does, you're in trouble if an A/K arrives). I think you need to get out preflop after the third raise (though, admittedly, I might find it a tough fold at the table, and there's a pretty good chance I'd do exactly what you did, which is probably one of my many holes).

AK is an auto-fold versus most opponents after a reraise.

I knew I should have folded, but I had to weigh that against the sheer lunacy of the PF betting.

I always make the mistake of saying "If I was in the villain's position, I would raise after those goofy-ass bets with anything even remotely decent."

Then, as soon as the villain does this, I assume he is playing it the way I would, and is proably weak.

Blah. I think too much.

What if instead of a RR, you were facing only a LP raise from a tight player?
