Re: .50/1 Home Game AK

It depends on how you are playing these guys. If you are going to call then people will see you are willing to gamble and may give you more action. If you fold people may try to push back at you. Are these guys good enough to make either adjustment? What is the general weakness of these guys? I think those two questions are key to knowing whether or not you should make a call or fold based purely on metagame.
As it is, I still think you should fold. I don't think you have enough outs to call on average.

QFT, these are all good points.
The key is that the villain will bluff at you at the wrong time and you will bust him. Practice pot control until that time. AK OOP is bad in cash games, though the lack of a rake helps some. Preflop, just practice pot control and smooth-call, see what his standard CB is and try to build a line on that.
Just hit a big hand and ck-raise or donk bet into him big and wait for him to blow up!
