No, here is why you don't reraise w/ AK Preflop:

because you suck at poker

I don't really like the c-bet on a JT9 board.

Agree 100%. This is a monster flop for most opponents flatcalling your 3bet, plus you're in position w/ a draw to the nuts. I check behind here like 90%.

[/ QUOTE ]Yes, when you 3bet PF and miss c-betting depends on board. Looking for somewhat uncoordinated flops with AK imo. Even just a JT2 board seems like it should go check, check more than c-bet. Not worried about boards that have flush draws or small cards to straight but with three cards like this the person calling has at least OESD, two pair, set, etc., really strong hands or is more afraid of it than we are. On turn you just need to re-evaluate action, check will induce tons of bluffs but oh well.

If there is a guide to 3-betting preflop can someone direct me to it? I tried searching but I apparently suck at the search feature.

Villain had a good hand preflop.
Villain hit the flop.
You missed.

This never happened before.
Whats your point?

against a laggy player i will flat call and against a tag player i will reraise hoping to get action from an aq or an aj

i'll take it a step further with a laggy player and check call all the way down as long as it's a pretty dry board b/c they usually have nothing most of the time

you can check the flop sometimes, dont have to bet all the time...

I always flat call with AK in position. Sometimes you'll hit the flop and extract from a weaker ace. Sometimes you'll miss the flop but be able to steal the pot anyway. You keep the preflop pot small which gives you room to maneuver. Putting in 1/3 of your stack and having to fold is just hemorrhaging money away.
