[runhot]

bah. dropped back down to 16s from 60s since i blew my wad playing cash way over my head.. anyway this is from a 16.

the min raise/4 bet i dont think is ever AK, or QQ- here, so i folded.

I think it is AK/QQ- sometimes, but nowhere near enough to make a shove OK and obv you aren't calling. Nice hand.

[sippin_criss]

I'd just flat it the first time around, and if you do raise make it more than 120. As played fold it.

[runhot]

flat calling a minraise with AK is not good here. the whole table will call and i'll be playing a bloated pot with AK vs many opponents = not good. 120 is enough to get the pot down to 2 or 3 ways, while controlling pot size.

i think i played this mucho perfecto.

[Scotty_12]

I likely play it the same way , but make it 160-200 ... and why post a hand if yo uare just going to say you think yo uplayed it perfect?

[taipan168]

I agree with sippin_criss, I am flat calling preflop rather than re-raising. You very likely have postflop position here and with position I don't think playing a 3 or 4-way A or K high flop is that bad.

From the blinds I would definitely put in a big re-raise though.

[RexWoo]

it seems that you don't need my advice as you played perfectly.
