200nl: Alternative line with AKs

[TimberBee]

Villain is a aggressive multitabler, no history.

Is this okay, or should I always raise PF?

Stack sizes:
UTG: $215.10
Button: $341.72
SB: $326.63
Hero: $260.55

Pre-flop: (4 players) Hero is BB with K[img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img] A[img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img]
<font color="#cc0000">UTG raises to $8</font>, 2 folds, Hero calls.

Flop: A[img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img] 2[img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img] 6[img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img] ($17, 2 players)
Hero checks, <font color="#cc0000">UTG bets $12</font>, <font color="#cc0000">Hero raises to $37 and is calling a push/reraising AI</font>

EDIT: Ups, I just realized we are 4handed. Then this is a clear reraise PF I guess. But is this an okay line 6handed?

meaning you 3bet PF 6handed always?

[Fiksdal]

yeah, and certainly against an aggro reg who probably has an UTG range of 22+ AJ+ ATs+

Maybe call preflop like 10% of the time. Given that this is fine.

RR pre-flop. I think it's fine to call every so often, but 90% of the time, I want the money going in pre-flop when my hand has maximum leverage/value.

because we dont always need to re-raise AK here, and villain will have a harder time putting us on this very hand. When we check raise the flop he might often put us on a draw, since we dont have AK since we didnt re-raise preflop since every re-raises AK preflop. Accordingly, he may value shove a hand like AQ or at least come along for more with a weaker ace.
