the only slightly questionable play is your pf raise, I'd sometimes call here, as you are oop, but raising is good too obv. AKo is a huge hand. As played I'm not cbetting into 2 opponents and obv. folding to his bet.

Personally, I don't like the pre-flop re-raise, especially against two unknowns. I guess you were hoping to take it right then, but if you are not willing to follow up on a flop like that, it's worthless.

Fold to flop bet is all you can do if you are not going to try to win it with a bluff, which I wouldn't do, but I wouldn't be in that situation;)

preflop I like a call better because button calls the raise unless button is playing loosely.

[derosnec]

a) u can take a stab at the pot since it is big enough to fight for

or

b) c/f because no one is ever folding to a c-bet on that flop at 25nl


i lean towards b

Easy c/f oop against 2 unknowns. This isn't the right time to get cute with A-high.

Edit: ..especially at 25NL.
