5-10 PL - Caught speeding with AK

Live game. Loose UTG with 800 makes it 35 to go. I have him covered, and raise to 75 with AcKh. BB with 395 calls. UTG calls. 230 in the pot.

Flop comes 976 two-tone clubs. Check check to me. I represented a big pocket pair preflop with the reraise, so I fire 150. Mistake?

BB check-raises all in for 170 more. UTG folds. Pot is laying 700:170 or slightly more than 4:1, and the only nut draw I have is runner runner clubs (4%). I need 19-20% equity to make the call.

Is this an easy call, an easy fold, or is it a tough decision?

i make it more preflop. When considering calling an ai why would you ask the forum when the only thing that matters is the odds you are getting on a call and the range of villian who pushed. The forum cannot do any better at determining his range than you.

We could vote on whether to spite-call, no?

Why is that? What would you be trying to accomplish - win it preflop? Or build a smaller than 4 SPR if loose villain calls?

If you made it 120 to go (the most you could make it in pot limit), and get called in both spots with 365 in the pot, would you c-bet with air? How much? Why?

First time playing with villain. All I know about him is that he works for the cardroom, but he isn't a dealer.

Re raise more mainly to isolate UTG, and yes often times we take it down right there.

As played I don't like this Cbet at all. You're 3 handed, and one of them is a short stack and the board is wet. Not to mention No one ever folds anything live, EVER. Just check behind.

If you had reraised more a cbet would be more appropriate than it is here.

I called. He had AxTc for what he thought was "2 overs" plus the gutterball. My hand held up.
