I suck at playing AK, please help!!!!!!!!!!!!

[CaucasianAsian29]

NL$50
assume $50 stacks
You have A,Koff

UTG raises to $2
every one folds to Hero on the button

Hero raises to $6?

Is this standard

[Shaddux]

Yes.

[MortenTA]

without reads this is standard for me to raise to at least 6$

[4_2_it]

So far, so good.

[UncleKraut]

I like to call on the button here. Most people overvalue AK, especially to a UTG raise.

I don't like to build a huge pot pre-flop with AK. Just call here and see what develops on the flop.

Um, wouldn't it normally be a RR to 6.75?

fwiw I always reraise to 6 anyways, but still, I'm curious.

[ImprovinNewbie]

i think you could do either, mixing it up.... a call is nice and very disguised since you have postition. if player is loose re-raise and hope for a call since you are ahead most likely.. against a tight player do both. more often call.

A small nit, but I make it 7

[CaucasianAsian29]

Okay a few situations
1.UTG reraises you all in- I think fold

2.UTG calls-then checks to you, your c-betting approx 80% of the time? and fold to and c/r by utg

Most people who say such things do not really understand AK's unique equity situation.
