calling a reraise with AK at 1/2 NL full ring
I used to call a reasonable reraise with AK (2-3x my raise) but I've stopped doing it recently. I mean, 60% of the time I miss the flop and they take it down with a bluff, the other 30% I'm getting reverse implied odds or no action unless they are very bad. Not to mention all the times you get reraised by AK in which case the guy reraising has a huge advantage and you have almost no chance to win. It seems to me that against all but the worst players calling a reraise with AK is bad... am I way off base here?
This is assuming you have an image of a tight and aggressive player. That might be my problem actually, I'm sure it plays way differently if you are viewed as loose. I'm sure some meta game considerations come into play too, you don't want people thinking you fold to every raise. Although I'm not sure what calling a raise pre and then folding the flop does for your image either.
Anyways... what do you guys think? If you call reraises with AK what is your reasoning?
