    Default AKs on the BB

    BB, hold AKs. UTG is a sLPA, and SB is a Fish (plays like 70% of his hands). Should've I re-raised the pre-flop raise from UTG? Did I play this right?

    PokerStars No-Limit Hold'em, $0.02 BB (7 handed) FTR converter on zerodivide.cx

    MP2 ($4.93)
    CO ($0.29)
    Button ($3.82)
    SB ($4.30)
    Hero ($6.78)
    UTG ($3.73)
    MP1 ($8.59)

    Preflop: Hero is BB with K, A.
    UTG raises to $0.06, 4 folds, SB calls $0.05, Hero calls $0.04.

    Flop: ($0.18) 6, 4, 8 (3 players)
    SB checks, Hero checks, UTG bets $0.06, SB calls $0.06, Hero calls $0.06.

    Turn: ($0.36) A (3 players)
    SB checks, Hero bets $0.42, UTG folds, SB calls $0.42.

    River: ($1.20) 3 (2 players)
    SB checks, Hero bets $1.2, SB raises to $3.76, Hero calls $2.56.

    Final Pot: $8.72

    Pump it preflop. Realize the power of your hand here. I love winning pots preflop with AK. Gonna go on a limb and say you were beat by a small pocket pair here? If you were, at this limit, chances are no matter what the pump SB is following you to the flop and hitting his hand.

    If UTG were a guy who raised lots of hands, of course you have to re-raise him, but against this guy I don't think there's anything wrong with a call. He probably has a pretty good hand too. If you re-raise him, the flop is going to be hard to play the 2/3 of the time that you miss it.

    The only street where I think you really screwed up was the river. When a passive low-limit player wakes up and makes a big check-raise, they can beat one pair at least 90% of the time. I would definitely fold to his all-in, what do you think he has that you're beating?

    I'm not fearing AA or KK here. I'm willing to pump it knowningly going into the flop its a coinflip.

    Not buying the argument, there is A LOT of money behind which trivializes pre-flop equity. So the question is, how do we get the best of this post-flop?

    i reraise this huge preflop, but im pretty sure the sb has 57, id consider checking behind here because the last thing you want is to get raised. im looking to win a small pot here because that board is pretty homo especially against someone who plays 70% of hands. and his line is pretty typical of a fish who flops a straight

    I wish I was at the same level you are analyzing this, but honeslty I'm not. I would love to know to what kind of answer you're looking here and why though.
