Didn't you call what happened to Golfkat "a suckout" up above?

You damn right it was a suckout.    And Golfkat was not wrong in calling this guy as was proven when the other guy turned over his JQ.

I don't see anything wrong with taking a shot at the guy's 50 bucks with AK.     No matter if it's a 3 dollar game or not.    The other guy had a decent hand but he was definitely trying to steal the pot with that 50 dollar bet and Golfkat didn't let it happen.   

And then the guy "Sucked Out".    

Those are your words ChanceP not mine.

You trying to tell me that every time somebody tries to steal a pot on you with a big bet you should lay it down even if you have a huge hand yourself?   

You let enough people see you doing that and they are going to know they are playing with a FISH.

You rock dude

I disagree. Heads up, Preflop you don't know what the other guy has. You only had commited before the reraise $3 to the pot ($1 call plus the $2 raise) and the total pot was $3.50 or $4. (His ante)

A $50 reraise is about 15 times what you have commited to the pot. You can only assume a pocket pair with that kind of re-raise (Most of the time that is what you will run into with that size of raise) and that means FOLD since at best you can only assume you have 6 outs with AK. 3A and 3K left in the deck.

Notice I say assume, because it doesn't matter what this person had this hand, there are lots of hands in the game, you will be holding AK many many more times in your poker carrer and in the long run, if people pick up a tell that you will call with AK and you can't fold that hand, and call on huge odds like that, you'll just be setting yourself up to get trapped over and over again by players who understand this concept.
