AKs - What did I do wrong here?

[johnnyawe]

Villian is a LAgg that preflop raises any "raisable" hand 6BBs. My plan was to limp-reraise, and it worked perfectly! But then...


Party Poker No-Limit Hold'em, 1$ BB (6 max, 6 handed) converter

Hero ($130.59)
MP ($64.28)
CO ($38.7)
Button ($137.05)
SB ($103.35)
BB ($99.35)

Preflop: Hero is UTG with A, K. SB posts a blind of $0.5.
Hero calls $1, MP raises to $6, 4 folds, Hero raises to $15, MP calls $9.

Flop: ($31.50) 4, 2, J (2 players)
Hero bets $15, MP calls $49.28 (All-In), Hero folds.

Final Pot: $95.78

Results in white below:
No showdown. MP wins $95.78.

Does it make any sense to play AK like this? At least if I had gone all-in preflop I would have got to see all 5 cards.

If he knows how to fold then make it $30 flat and push on the flop (if it gets that far) or if he's a calling station just push on the flop.

The key to cash NL is over-betting.

If you're going to play it this way, you really have to push preflop. You need to see all 5 cards.
