AK is a standard 3-bet for me PF in most situations, but the open raise by MP here is abnormally large (typical in these games in $1.5 to $2). In addition, the raise comes from EP, while I have the worst position possible.

What's your move here PF, and your plan on a A or K-high flop and blank flop if called?

call. But I'm thinking some will respond fold.

I'm thinking 99-JJ, I would be thinking raise, but I like a call because he has such a narrow range that it will be easy to play post-flop.

I'm happy with most Axx or Kxx flops, if you call just give up on blank flops

This is usually some dummy with AA-KK someimes QQ trying to get more money in because he has the big hand. I always calls these kind of raises with garbage cards in late position if it's looking we'll get HU.

Initially I think call, but I don't think y0u can get paid off by JJ/QQ enough on A or K board to offset the times you get stacked on A of K board by the range of JJ-AA, especially if there is a Q or J too. So, folding OOP isn't bad here IMO.

calling seems fine, he probably has 7s or something
