I was tempted to go all in but the reraise threw me.

I have no reads on this guy as I just started NL

PokerStars No-Limit Hold'em, $1.00 BB (9 handed) Hand History Converter Tool from FlopTurnRiver.com (Format: 2+2 Forums)

MP1 ($72.90)

MP3 ($64.35)
CO ($64)
Button ($44.50)
Hero ($138.65)
BB ($234.85)
UTG ($100)
UTG+1 ($94.50)

Preflop: Hero is SB with K[img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img], A[img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img].
4 folds, MP3 calls $1, 2 folds, Hero raises to $4, BB raises to $12, MP3 folds, Hero calls $8.

Flop: ($25) 6[img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img], 8[img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img], 8[img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img] (2 players)
Hero checks, BB bets $17, Hero folds.

Final Pot: $42

Whats the best line pf in this spot?

Eh, this is not a great spot OOP. I dont remember how often people light 3b in the 100 game TBH.

I want to say folding is out of the question, but calling doesnt really get you a lot of value postflop. Shoving turns your hand faceup if BB is 2p2/decent (unlikely).

Depending on villain flop is a fold/call IMO. I rarely push with AKo.

As played, i don't mind this hand at all.

This flop is never a call OOP IMO.

I don't play full ring but villian has a big stack. He probably knows how to play. Given that info. 4 Bet pre flop to $40 and lead hard on flop.

no offense, but this is pretty crappy advice.

i've seen the worst player on the table sitting with the biggest stack at times.
