Goofing off at $25 NL... I think I should have put this guy all in preflop.
He showed 81/15 split. Not used to playing down here... what do you think?

I still would never move AI with ace high at 25nl... preflop at least.

He either has a pair (coinflip) or he doesn't, in which case I am way ahead. Chances are, he doesn't.

There are times it's clearly called for.

putting someone all in with AK in a full ring that reraised your reraise would be pretty stupid. i'd be pretty surprised if he didnt have QQ-AA, since he minraised looking for a reraise (which he got) and then he reraised. im sure he wishes you would have put him all in.

I'm sure he had a pocket pair, even if it was 2's, it's still a coin flip. AK's are tricky in low stakes ring games. I'll always throw out a nice bet preflop and see what everyone does. I would call a raise, but I wouldn't reraise. If someone raises in front of me I just call to see what the flop brings, and go from there.
