$16 - AK SB vs raise
 

Call/raise/fold?
If we're going to call and fold 70% of the flops, is it even profitable calling then? - Please explain

call- dont want to flip that early, raise size is ok..
lets see a flop and re-evaluate
check/raise good flops
bet flops to protect etc.
lots of options
calling is the best play IMO

Re: $16 - AK SV vs raise
 

going to 350, him calling and you missing and cbetting is costly. But call pf forces you to hit but disguises our hand.

I think I don't do the same thing there 100% of the time.

When we do hit w/ AKs tho and it's raised pre it's easier to get AI obv. Also against an unknown I don't mind getting stacks in there.

Re: $16 - AK SV vs raise

even from utg+1 raising 4x?

i would probably flatcall. check/fold flop if i miss

Re: $16 - AK SV vs raise
 

Depends on the raiser but generally I call if its just him in the pot and if there are a few other callers then I shove.

Re: $16 - AK SV vs raise
 

I would Flat Call and CheckFold the Flop when i miss,because you are OOP and you miss 2/3 off the Time.
Its to early for a flip and the Blinds are to low and you are to deep.

This is awful advice. "It's too early for a flip" is a platitude not backed up by any sort of logic. There is +EV and -EV, there is not "too early for a flip". It doesnt exist. You will never become a winning player using only thoughts like this.

I thinking reraising a random here is very +EV. I think we have solid equity vs. his range. I like a CRAI when he hit an A or K high flop, or when the board has two diamonds.
