Default Re: 6.50 Stars...folding AK after flopping TPTK

With no reads I dont mind just calling the reraise PF since you have position.

As played I think you have to push over the reraise on the flop. Worst case scenario vs AA,KK,TT, and any QQ,JJ,AK with a heart and you are getting pot odds (+chipEV) to push. Chuck in a few extra hands or take out TT from the range and you are well ahead of pot odds and being the 1st hand theres a good chance you're up against the biggest donk on the table.

I would probably just shove the flop the 1st time around.

Think about the flop play. When is this not going to be a monster? A monotone KJ flop after he 3-bets pre-flop, and he check min-raises you. This is the classic donkey HUGE hand play. You are like 90%+ of the time drawing to runner runner or drawing DEAD. You do not have pot odds to continue here. You pretty much never have the pot odds necessary in this situation.

That's frankly the only positive thing to say about shoving this flop.

I think the classic donkey huge hand play would be a flatcall or a minimum (or close to it) reraise preflop instead of to t300. Its difficult to come up with a specific range here, I tend to assume donkedness until proven otherwise. If you were certain they were on a monster preflop you would just fold to the reraise.

If you weren't certain pre-flop, then you know it by the action on this flop for sure.

I agree with 3-betting the pre-flop. At the level you're playing at the chances of him being a total donkey are very good. At worst he comes back for all-in and you're most likely ahead. Had you done this you don't have to worry about the scary flop you saw.

Limping pre-flop with AK in the CO is missing out on value. Do you not like $$$? Raising it should not be debateable here.
