    Default AK vs. strange PF play / Broadway flop vs. raise all-in

    Villain's PF play really threw me off. He showed his hand afterwards. Is this a good laydown? No reads on villain at the time.

    Party Poker No-Limit Hold'em, $ BB (9 handed) Hand History Converter Tool from FlopTurnRiver.com (Format: FlopTurnRiver)

    UTG+1 ($22.50)
    MP1 ($30.90)
    MP2 ($27.56)
    MP3 ($35.60)
    CO ($121.71)
    Button ($24.65)
    Hero ($30.95)
    BB ($7)
    UTG ($24.50)

    Preflop: Hero is SB with K, A. Hero posts a blind of $0.10.
    2 folds, MP1 calls $0.25, MP2 calls $0.25, 1 fold, CO calls $0.25, 1 fold, Hero (poster) raises to $1.15, 1 fold, MP1 folds, MP2 raises to $3.25, CO folds, Hero calls $2.

    Flop: ($7.25) A, Q, J (2 players)
    Hero bets $5.5, MP2 raises to $24.31 and is all-in, Hero folds.

    Final Pot: $12.75

    Never read any stickies or announcements
    If you are going to raise preflop you should make it more. FWIW sometimes I'd raise, sometimes I'd complete.

    The ol' limp behind a limper then reraise a blind raise kind of stumps me here, I'm not going to lie. I don't know what to tell you here.

    but the flop sucks, I'd probably just check it and see what happens. As played, clear fold. If he showed you a pair of 7's or something worse, so be it. AK OOP to a tight 3-bet range (I don't know what his overlimp, reraise range is, this move always confuses me)... always sucks.

    I switch between calling or raising preflop;if raising I make this more like $3 toi go(you're playing OOP unsuited).With the reraise I would lean towards folding or just calling.

    Flop bet/fold is fine.If you had the King of diamonds I could see a call.

    BTW the limp reraise means AA/KK/AKs.

    this is usually understood when villain is in very early position - things change once they're in middle-late position and others have already limped in. i never just assume someone has aa-qq when they play it the way villain did.
