Default 6.50 Stars AK min reraised

Villian (not this particular one, 6.50s in general) almost always shows up with AA or KK when limping/min reraising here, mix in a few QQ's but my point is this is always a monster. At least it seems to me. Struggled quite a bit with this one before deciding...

Comments on that general read and hand itself appreciated, thanks.

UTG (t2463)
MP (t1477)
CO (t1515)
Button (t3710)
SB (t2440)
Hero (t1895)

Preflop: Hero is BB with A[img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img], K[img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img].

I've seen a lot of small and mid pocket pairs here too. Rarely, but sometimes you'll see AQ or even AJ from someone who thinks they're trapping.

Without a very strong read I'm not folding and calling commits you so I'd just push. If he shows AA or KK, oh well. Load up another one.

Edit: You'll see AK quite a bit here too.

I would push preflop, unless I had a read UTG was incredibly tight in which case I'd check and see a flop.

As played I would just re-shove after his minraise.

Yes, this often AA/KK but really not always.

I'd push vs an unknown and make a note.

Seems like an easy push considering you hold AK, making AA and KK less likely. Odds are too good to walk away.

In the 6.50s you'll see a lot of 77+, AJ+ her too.
