  1. I made a big reraise because I didnt really want to play a hand this early in the SNG, but I'll get it in with AK vs a negative 43% ROI clown (ala sharkscope) if he wants to play with his AJ.

    I checked the flop because I knew that there was a possibility he called with a hand that definitely had me beat on that flop. I also checked knowing that i represented JJ or QQ easily with my preflop action. Then he checks the turn...I can't check again, but a standard bet is 3/4 my stack, so I simply shove.

    Then he calls...did he think i had 22??

  2. AK is overrrated lol. No actually I would have shoved after the flop had he checked to me or not raised so much preflop to commit you to the hand.
