    Dont really know what to say to this thread bud.

    I'm going to be polite and say that this should never be a limp, only exception being if your sat uber deep and feel like mixing it up.

    The question you should be asking yourself is does huggy get it in if you raise?  Likely not.  But if he does you go in way ahead.

    If you limped to induce action with a read on aggro seats, its ok.  But even in that case you get what you want.  racing as a 74% fav.

    But as a rule, you shouldnt be limping in there with AK.  May I ask what the thought process was?

    Raise pre,snap call,sigh when he hits 9.
    As played, he's in the sb with a limper, a decent Ace and 5 1/2 bbs, it's an insta shove. Your weak play has allowed him to get his money in first and even then you should be snap calling. Had you raised he might think about folding pre but you want to get all his money in pre flop.
