Easy (??) preflop situation AKo

[Freelancer]

MP and me have a lot of history together, I've 3-bet him a few times before. At one point he 4-bet me and I pushed with 99, he called with QTs and rivered a flush (whey). He's a solid player and doesn't get to much out of line postflop, but he's playing a bit on the laggy side preflop.

BTN is a bit on the nitty side and doesn't get out of line at all. He's the basic 2+2 template player, he's a thinking player though and capable of making a move occasionally.

Oh yeah both are 2+2, BTN is probably a poster and MP is mostly a lurker. (meh had a little conversation with both, I expect BTN to berate me for that [img]/images/graemlins/tongue.gif[/img])

I get dealt AKo
MP raises to 8$
I reraise to 25$
BTN moves all in.

Effective stacks 200$, so its 175$ for me to call.

I fold. I think you see QQ+ here pretty much exclusively.

uuuh....fold

hmmm...I guess I need to learn how to fold AKo preflop. I figured that btn range is bigger than usual because of all the fighting between MP and me. I figured I'd occasionally see AQ here, and mostly JJ+/AK.

Making it a marginal call against this range. If he also occasionally has AQo its marginally +ev. If you factor in image purposes I can find a call here...


Anybody agree's with my reasoning or am I alone? [img]/images/graemlins/tongue.gif[/img]
