AK preflop, thoughts?

[ejlash]

I'd appreciate any feedback on this hand I played about a week ago. It was at a 1/3NL table and I can't remember the exact details, but a rough approximation should give you a pretty good idea.

I was in LP and there was a raise in MP to around $10.
I looked down, found AKo, and reraise to $30.
Guy in the SB calls my reraise.
Original raiser moves all in for about $50 more.
I call and so does the SB.
I had about $100 left in my stack and the SB had roughly the same.
Flop comes T high rainbow and SB and I check it down, nothing hitting on the turn or river.

Original raiser holds AJ for AJ high
I have AK high obviously
SB has KTd for a pair of tens and wins a big pot


Any criticism or comments on my play would be great. I'll save my thought process for later.

Given that after calling the $50, there's $90 in the pot and you only have $100 left in your stack, I'd probably just push pre-flop.

id put it all in or fold after original raiser went all in, the last you want is to not pair the flop and have to fold when the sb bets out (i'm shocked he didnt here), id probably fold here with sb calling a reraise out of position (takes a lot of strenght to do that, even though he didnt have it)

yep that is the play, allin or fold.

really easy push preflop...push SB and his dead money out.

BTW what a horrific call preflop with KT against a raise and a reraise.

Of course after the hand I was like DERRRRRRRR why didn't you push preflop. At the time though I thought I was probably up against a hand like JJ or QQ and I didn't want to risk my whole stack on AK. Looking back on it I guess if I want to play that hand aggressively I need to be willing to push. I think that's one of my big problems, I play too tight which puts me in some tough situations.

Even if the SB has JJ or QQ if there's two all ins after his call all the pressure is on him and that's a pretty tough call for him to make (I know I'd fold). Also, it seems like I often give my opponents too much credit. There's no way I can put the SB on KTd, because that's ridiculous.

Thanks for the responses, it helps a lot.

Push after the re-raise.
