He makes a rather large raise , it was one of my first hands on the table and he is a known fish. He has a high PFR , but i dont recall him reraising preflop too much. I also raised from CO and not BU. Whats the best option here?

I would just call with AK here against unknown. His huge raise indicates that he will not give it away preflop and most of the time u heve a coinflip or u r dominated.

With your read of his PF re-raising tendencies I'd assume that he is not likely to be re-raising with too much stuff that you have dominated. I'd therefore call with the intention of outplaying him on the flop.


Ok, I read unknown and u wrote known, nevertheless I would just call it.

You should obviously vary your play here. Dont shove AKs here and always trap with AA/KK. Yet, usually I'd like to get AI preflop with AK but since you have position a call seems fine as well.

Since his 3-bet is rather big, a shove seems fine as well as 4bet/call. Normally, I'd rather play 4bet/call because it allows you to 4bet/fold, meaning to 4bet bluff, as well.
