Re: 50NL: Interesting hand SSNL may appreciate
The value lies not in hiding the strength of AK by calling, but by hiding the strength of AK by raising a wide range of hands. You want to raise him with all kinds of hands in position and then steal the pot with a c-bet. Of course you also want to raise with your strong hands for balance.
3-betting AK in position vs. an UTG raiser is just a completely standard play that 95% of the people on this board will make 95% of the time. It's going to be hard to argue against it. (Plus, you want to get the pot heads-up.)
