according to your read it looks like a big hand, but you can't fold to a minraise with AKs preflop. I call and see what the flop brings.

then the flop...given the read of a big hand here, seems like we arent beating much at all. seems like hoping for a cheap showdown is best, to calldown smaller bets? i just hate minbets with a passion and want to repop it so bad...

You can't fold to a min bet here and if you just call you have no idea where you are at. Make it $0.80-$1.3 and see where it goes. Re-evaluate on turn if you get there.

Im actually just calling this flop. Villain has made a mistake, lets capitalize. Are you raising for value here? What if he shoves?
