I didnt want to just call the flop out of position with AK so I re-raised. I was pretty sure I was facing a big pair because he re-raised me (too little tho. Pushing out of position to A high flop after having re-raised screams for a PP JJ-KK and especially this MTT being rebuy he called

you will make more money from the hand playing it in position, and you will lose more out of position. because of this, i would usually just call OOP unless its a LAG player raising.

Good point. So you would've just called? If the money was more shallow this was an easy push but since it is pretty deep a call is an option as well.

i agree. of course, the play is much different depending on both your image of him and his image of you.
