Default AKs faces pre-flop re-raise.

Villian's stats after 108 hands are.....37/16.7/3.3

He is very unpredictable and has made some strange plays showing a net loss of about $18 at this table. The size of his re-raise is very strange/weak......would you call, re-raise or just push from here and why?

Blinds: $0.10/$0.25

You have a pretty strong hand with position on him, so just calling isn't a completely bad option. However, if you think his raise is weak, you should probably re-raise him.

Nobody knows what that donk raise means -- could be anything. I like calling here as well and re-evaluate on the flop.

Well, OP says he thought the raise was weak, so I took that as he had a read.

But as I said, calling is fine. You have position with a very strong hand.

I would reraise here - you have a great hand and his raise is really gay - I call it the SGR (standard gay raise). reraise him to 5.50 and see what happens. if he goes all in you can dump it if you feel - but I think you def reraise and put pressure back on him.

mehhh...miniraises are the gay.

you can 4-bet to like...$6. makes postflop awkward though w. his stack size. given your read, calling and extracting postflop in position can't be bad either.

If I re-raise to about $6 then surely I may as well just push. If he calls $6 he will be pretty pot committed with his stack size anyway. If he goes all-in....I have to call.
