reraising and having AK  surely i would have expected only hand where both cards are ranging A-J. then when i bet pot during flop a set i would think reraises  incase i have flush or higher pair and then when A comes why else would he then call when the chances were i had AAA and he did not know my true hand from just calling.
was i just thinking silly or was making a big gamble with calling the reraise preflop.

I think what Diablo was saying was that a cbet on a draw-heavy type of flop like this, is not a great idea.

preflop you can make it bigger. then consider how often your oppo hits that specific flop when he calls your reraise. once you cbet the flop and turn the A it's hard to get away from and betting is good. If you check the flop just c/f. c/r the flop would just bloat the pot against hands you're losing to and would let him fold everything you're actually stil beating.

3b bigger pre, at least 50p

C/f flop imo. Definitely don't c/r

As played b/c turn smaller, about 1.40
