NL100 - slowplay AKs

Assuming you aren't getting respect for your raises, is more the reason to raise. You want to get called light in these spots. Live I think you need to mix up play, but in the revolving door of online poker is there really a point. Raise your monsters, no real need to get tricky, unless you are playing the same guy over several tables and he seems competent.

Get what you are saying. UTG knows that I am playing back at him aggresiive for the past few Hands, 3-betting etc. Would you just call as I did if there was no caller before, occasionaly?

all fine imo. u CANNOT always raise/rerasise with AKs u have to mix it up and occassionaly just call with it. im talking only about 1 out of 10 or perhaps even more but if u always raise with it thats not good poker. u should'nt ever do the same thing the same way every single time because that could add a small amount of predictability to your game. (IMO!!)

Never ever, I would call with a tricky hand, hoping to stack him, by making frustrating raises on flop and turn. With a top 5 hand versus a frustrated opponent i would 3-bet. And even 3-bet slightly more, make it look like another "steal."

I think it's fine to call with AK especially against a tight UTG raiser.

[mvdgaag]

Flop is standard.

Preflop a reraise would be standard, but a call is not too bad, even with one or two callers in between. Because your opponents are likely to call with a worse ace or king and think it might be good...
Yes it is more likely someone flops a better hand when you hit your ace or King, but it is also a lot more likely that someone will pay you when you give them a chance to bet a pair of aces or kings with worse kicker.

There's 10.5 in the pot on the flop... Then you pop to 117 after a PSB and a re-raise when your on a FD? You hit your F on the turn, but I don't think it's a +EV play everytime your in this situation.

[tubasteve]

theres a reason everyone says AK is the nuts. by having AK you cut the combos of AA and KK in half, and you are only a coinflip at worst against any other hand.

i never flatcall AK. ever. i will fold it sometimes preflop but seriously its the NUTS unless you have two nits raise and then 3-bet from UTG and UTG+1

That's actually the reason why i posted this Hand! Didn't seem to catch any attention. Whats your plan on Flop if you think it is not +EV? Calling is worst because we don't know where we stand and we have no FE.
