    Default AK limit, again

    You have AK in 1) LP 2) BB

    2 EP limpers, MP Raises. What do we do now? Standard LLH table.
    Marm is back, maybe. Been off for 3 years. Rusty as Hell.

    Any reads on raiser?

    LP raise.
    BB call, if I hit I might go for a check raise, otherwise I can check-fold.

    I'm raising both spots at worst its capped 4 handed at best its heads up with me putting in the last raise.

    The chance to eliminate 2 players or even 1 far outweighs the extra bet we have to put in here.

    I would play it more how puddle described. LP raise, even cap if it came to it. BB, smooth call.

    if i would raise it from EP I would reraise it from the BB against 3 or less opponents especially with the possibility of knock ing 1 or 2 out. If it went raise limp limp I would be more inclined to flat call.

    I dont see why you would think of limping or calling a single raise with AK.

    It's a very powerfull hand that can be vulnerable...

    You want to have the most money possible in the pot pre-flop with the lowest number of oponents possible.

    You will win samller pot like that, but almost every pot. And, if you loose, you wont spend a lot VS a 4 way pot where you have a straght draw and a flush draw against you who hit the river.

    personally id reraise from either position.

    a standard LLH table to me would give the impression that anyone would raise with anything from any position so im getting as much in as i can pf and make em pay to see more.

    granted my couple months experience isnt as much as previous guys but as far as i can see im also following the advice in my "bible" of SSHH.
