Default Re: 25-50 with a straddle

8800 in pot. bet is 3500. So...if you call, you're risking $3500 to win $4400. Instead, why not raise to like $7500? Then you're risking $7.5k to win $12.3k. Is this guy ever going to call a river raise to chop on that board?

I actually like folding the best but fold > raise > call imo.

Fold like a cheap suit. If these guys play as reckless as described, you'll have much better opportunities to take their money.

This is the kind of guy that would call to chop a certain % and also might bluff re-raise a certain percentage and also has AK a certain %, so not totally sure I like this line. But maybe

I'm kind of surprised that Strassa and others think he can have AK some of the time here.

Don't you think check-calling this flop with AK is pretty bad?
