$16 - AK getting tricky

[mattiesmat]

Normally I always raise here, but I was thinking he would fold all hands I beat and get value out by doing so.
What about just completing in the hope he will pay me with TPMK?

I would rather raise pre to build a pot with a premium hand. By limping I think you're setting yourself up to win a relatively small pot. Also if the flop comes K63 and villain flops bottom 2 you're going to find it difficult to control the pot and get away from the hand. I think limping would be kinda FPS here.

Raise, always.
Lots of villains will stack off in raised pots with TPNK.

pretty much. You aren't worried about getting value out of J7, you are worried about building a pot with AT or KJ so you can get it all in when you both hit TP

this is not true at all unless talking about a good winning regular. I'd always and only raise here.
