Default Re: PS 60$ - AK hits top pair vs a regular

interesting hand luis.

i take your line a lot and am wondering a couple of things:

1) would it be bad to just fold preflop? i mean, you call 100, and really the best you can ever do is hit TPTK, and then you can pickoff a c-bet. thats the best you can do. a winning regular is not gonna give you any more chips, and most winning regulars probably know who you are. you never stack villian. i guess you can hope for callers behind, but that can also create a problem if you get three or four of them.

2) i always call flop here vs winning regular. but i wonder if it is better to just raise. not many winning players are gonna put in any more chips without at least AK, so calling only gives a worse hand a chance to catch up. i know villian is probably only drawing to two outs most of the time if behind, but still, giving free cards when you cant extract more value on a later street is not a great idea.

idk, this always is a messy spot for me. anyone think a fold preflop is terrible?
