i can't see BB flat calling with AK after the limp/minraise/call. he can easily be pushing AJo (with the Jc) or somesuch.

any reads?

I like reraising to t1800 preflop here.

If either UTG or CO pushes after that, I'd fold.

If I get called and get it HU, I push any flop.


Flop is a bit marginal. I think you might be way behind or slightly ahead here. The dream scenario is of course Ax, but a lot of times he will have a club to boot.

Just out of curiosity, why would you push any flop? Where is the benefit in this? Surely your only going to get called by a hand that is beating you on that flop?
