preflop - reraised with AK x 2

[teamdonkey]

Hand 1: Villain is 60/20 after a whopping 10 hands, this is all i know about him. The preflop raise looks big but is really him hitting the "bet pot" button, so it's hard to tell. Unsure about my call here. Also not sure about my flop action... i hate min bets, but it seemed like the better play here. On this flop with that action i'm taking this to the felt.

200NL 6 max - 4 handed

Hero (UTG) $214.50.
Button $238.
SB $25.
Villain (BB) $218.60.

Hero dealt A[img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img]K[img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img]

Hero raises to $7, 1 fold, SB calls $6, BB raises to $32, Hero.... calls $25, SB calls $18 (all-in)

Flop ($89) - A[img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img] 6[img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img] 3[img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img]

BB bets $34, hero.... raises to $68


Hand 2: Villain is 28/12, is fairly aggressive and seems pretty decent (although hes bought in short the few times i've seen him). On a different site without a "bet pot" button, take that for what you will. Very unsure about the correct preflop action here.

400 NL 6 max - 6 handed

Button ($724.75 in chips)
Villain (SB) ($154 in chips)
BB ($88.70 in chips)
UTG ($244.30 in chips)

1 fold, hero raises to $12, 2 folds, villain raises to $44, 1 fold, hero.... ?

Hand 1:
PF... meh. I'm starting to like folding more and more these days.

Just call. Let him dictate the betting. Use pot control in position.

Hand 2:
DEATH TO SHORTSTACKS. Go all in.

Me too, but that's probably because I have a tighter-than-most image. Of course, if I get limp-reraised preflop, my AK goes bye-bye.

But if I'm the shortstack, I don't care who my opponent is, I'm re-reraising all in preflop with AKo.

Hand 1:
Not a big fan of the preflop call. SB called with you, so BB reraise is showing a lot of strength.

On flop just call. I would say its likely has KK-TT by his preflop action and rather scared looking probe bet on the flop. Check the turn back to him and try to value bet him on the river.

Hand 2:
I would likely fold here.

As wide as some people's raising ranges are, their reraising ranges at these stakes are generally very slim. I don't think I've ever regretted folding AK to a reraise.
