Re: (22) AK vs UTG raiser
[ QUOTE ]
I think the implied pot odds of calling with AK here are similar to those of calling with a middle pocket pair for set value

Are you calling off 95 chips (1/8th of your stack) pre-flop with a pair of 7s here? I'm not saying that calling is 'wrong' per se, only that I would not do it. If you just have some patience in these games, the easy +EV spots pop up in almost every game.
So, what's your plan if:
1) There is another caller and you miss the flop?
2) You are the only caller, you miss the flop, and the inital raiser bets into you? Position is nice, but don't forget, if he has AJ or AQ as you'd like to hope, he gets first shot at bluffing at the pot.
