Big Stacked AKs

[blaneMan]

I rarely reraise preflop in position with AK, but his weak attempt at a steal deserves a higher pricetag. I think you want the nuts here so take a free card, for sure. If the turn comes a brick, he's putting you an AK, AQ probably. I'd reraise any turn bet for a free showdown. If you hit the gin card, you're taking his stack. If you peel an Ace or a King, bet half the pot.
