yes calling is bad here, push or fold pf, in most cases i would fold this, but i think i push this @ a $3, folding isnt bad either im sure.

Do you really fold AK vs a reraise in a $6 or 15$? There are only 2 hands that really beat us, and villain is reraising a lot looser than that (I presume).

I normally 3-bet push AK PF when I get the chance, that's not good? I get called by Ax all the time...

It all depends on reads, the thing is you are out of position, so playing this on the flop is going to suck, you hit ace or king and villian is going to shut down else you will be facing a bet and that blows.

You might go call and bet any flop, but ... well ..... err


So therefore many view this as a push or fold situation ... and both are fine (in a 3$ I guess I'm pushing ... in my usual 22-33s it depends, against solid regulars I am folding, against unknowns or known morons I might just be pushing)

i dont do it, cuz reraise but not all in here is sketchy and if i know villain has 22 im folding for sure. too early for flipping, but $3.40s are markedly worse than even 6.50s

Fold, calling is the worst option, as you don't want to play Post Flop with out position. I think I would fold even in the $3...

I would never fold AK preflop in a $3 sng. It's the nuts. 3-bet all in.
