1. I know AK is a very strong hand, but I feel a bit uncomfortable raising here, but calling and letting 3 other guys see the flop is very bad ...
do you raise or call ?
If you raise pre, how much do you raise ? Is 1.25 okay if so, whats the rule of thumb here ?
2. Now the flop comes only lowcards, rather connected and two suited ...
I knew contibetting versus one single oppent is almost allways right this is even more true if he checked to me but:
He has like 5$ left, the pot is 3$ ...
I just noticed that if I raise to 2.60 I've to call his CRAI b/c of the favourable odds ...
Is pushing here the best way ?
Pushing seems so bad b/c better hands will call, worse will fold + its almost 200% of the pot ...
but checking seems retarted too ...
Right now I'm thinking Contibet(a bit less) and calling his push is the best way b/c 1) I have FE, 2) He might try to (semi)bluff me out of the hand with a worse hand like AQ or a flushdraw.
