$60 I got me into a pickle with AKs.

[lastas]

Any way to get around this? Folding preflop an option?

Only read on villain is he hasnt done anything unreasonable, and that he's on 3 of my tables.

When being reraised with AK I tend to smooth call and wait for an A/K flop or else fold.

standard. fold flop.

I guess the real question is whether I should even call the reraise.

I'll need to fold more than 2/3 times when I dont hit the flop. And when I do hit, I'm probably not getting payed off by worse hands.

I say more than 2/3 times because villains will quite often have one or more A's or K's in their hands to make me miss my cards.

Well your getting just under 3-1 on your money on the flop call. Even with these big odds I'm not happy with calling. You could get stacked if an A or a K flops, and your extremely rarely stacking villain like you said. Someone posted the otherday 'A chip gained is not as valuable as a chip lost.' I think this really applies here and I would fold.

fold PF

[b33nz]

curtains, can i ask what your are calling with here? or is it a push/fold situation for you here?

[Jay Riall]

Standard I think. I might even fold to the reraise pf given that he is a multitabler. Being sooted thought I would lean more towards a call.

[sng-sam]

In a $60 I fold to reraise preflop below that I like your line of calling and check folding any non ace/king flop.

As for the flop...it's a very easy fold.

Straight Flushes,
