    Default AK, flopped K and 2 reraises

    Okay, I have no idea how to play 6 max. With that in mind, what's your play in this hand? No reads, new at the table. Didn't really know what to do preflop, I know my call/reraise was RETARDED, lol. And the flop, let me know what my move is.

    (Also sorry for this idiotic HH, I cleaned it up best I could, I hate MartinsPoker)

    your call-reraise would be good had you raised bigger and actually isolated the field. now you obviously see the trouble you are at when you see the flop with AK agaist bazillion villains. I would've re-raised at the first place to $1. The players at these stakes can have anything from a straight or flush draw to a weak K. I am AI on the flop.

    The penguins advice is wise on this particular hand. One thing I would add is your attitude to your own play seems negative. I dont mind the call/re-raise line either as long as you let the table know you mean business. My own play at the moment is suffering from a confidence crisis I think and the aggressive players at 6-max can sense vunerability and move in. Get busy early with big hands, or you'll find there are all sorts of rubbish out there to kill your TPTK. Get information with raises and position, and get out of Dodge if you meet too much resistance.

    I think a lot of people just assume that because it's a low limit cash game that everybody is always bluffing. I don't find that to be true, and I think that somebody in this pot has one pair beat. That isn't always the case, but here with the action I don't think AK is any good here. Even bad players can flop sets and two pair, you shouldn't just assume they don't have anything and call. In fact that is one of the worst approaches to low limit poker, as you will be losing a lot of money.
