    Reraise pre to about £1.80 and call shove.

    Flop when checked to good bet, being minraised is a little worrying but I would probably either shove or call here, making small reraise is a little strange.

    Turn just put the guy all in.

    We dont have to play big pots with AK (especially in cash).  Its also fine to mix it up.  Flatting button keeps in the weaker A's.  We dont have to do the same thing every time, infact its unwise to.

    I wouldnt say its a "clever way" to play it.  Buts its fine in my book.  Like the bet sizing post.

    When your opponents will call 3bets OOP with A9/AT/AJ/AQ and KT/KJ/KQ.....and we have Ace King.....

    It's generally a good idea to 3bet because everytime the flop is Ace or King high, we stack them. 

    And everytime we miss the flop, they miss the flop, so we win the pot anyway.

    oversimplification ftw. We dont win every pot

    3bet pre readless esp in those positions, but flatting is sometimes an option, I would only do it against a villain who rarely flats 3bets oop.

    I flat flop raise readless
