preflop - i answered raise big, but in the heat of the moment if i'm playing a lot of tables i probably make the same mistake you did and just call.

The quiz hands are fictionalized/modified/adjusted. This hand is actually a combination of two hands. In the actual-real hand that this hand is based on, I raised the second time preflop to $45, and MP folded. And my AK held up against SB's AQ. The postflop action in the quiz hand is a variation of another hand that I played in a somewhat similar situation. In that hand I flopped a flush draw with AK with a shorty all-in, with a sidepot of just a couple dollars in it, as a preflop reraise was impossible in that hand due to shorties stack size.

As it says in the answer page, Hero's actions in the OP hand are not always the best move. So, as I've said a few times, I do take quite a bit of creative license in trying to come up with interesting elements to showcase.
