  2. Hard to say without knowing sycy92 in this case really. I like the reraise from the cutoff with your AKs but a C-bet post flop is almost a definite must in this case. You started the hand with ~21k (~15m).....and you had almost 1/4 of your stack in pre with position as well. It all depends on if Sycy92 was a TAG, LAG etc. What hands had you seen him show down, and what kind of strength do you think he would have to have to flat you OOP for a good portion of his stack. The c-bet is crucial to find out where you really stand in the hand in my opinion. He likely sensed weakness with you checking both flop and turn and would stab with Aks, AKo, AQ and down on the river due to it. Then again he could have been slowplaying QQ or JJ or wired set there waiting for you to bet. Either way, I would almost always show strength with a post flop bet due to your reraise pre. GL @ the tables.
