NL 50 AK Fold Pre

[dynacraze]

This player in SB knows what their doing and almost everytime i see a miniraise here screams AA and sometimes KK. AK is obviously not going to play like this. I don't feel like calling because i have a strong read that this player has Aces.

Most of the time i usually go all in and see AA and lose. Comments?

Hey dyna,
I agree with you that minraises like this PF are AA,KK alot at this level. But would villain do this with QQ,JJ or less?
If you honestly put villain on a range of AA/KK then yeah fold. It looks to me like you are still playing a little scared though given your comments. In this example I do think a fold is OK given your read.

thx. I cant really understand why anyone with QQ/JJ would do this. they only would be inviting me to call and thats not what QQ or JJ wants because a mini raise usually wants a call. I couldnt call because AA vs Ak makes me like a 7 percent favorite to win and chances are i have to hit broadway or trip kings.
