Do I lay this down? Normally I'm perfectly happy with getting AK all in this early in the sng cause a ton of the time I'm going to be facing a lower A. Is the limp reraise going to be AA or KK enough for this to be a fold?

borderline. A lot of the value in AK comes from pushing and the FE. Limp reraise could be the big hands, but is almost certainly a pair, and youre not getting that much equity racing from behind. Too early to spew imo.

The limp push-reraise is almost always AA/KK...usually AA. Sometimes you'll find people doing it with TT-QQ, but even then you're racing from behind at best. This move will never be something you're actually ahead of PF.

Without any history with the villain, this is a pretty easy fold.

What inspired you to make your raise to 129 instead of the nice even 130 chips?

Long answer: The Nine key is next to the 0 and I miss hit.

Short answer: I have my life.

I think its a pretty easy fold. I disagree with jmbreslin because I think atleast some of the time you will be up against an ace queen or an ace jack... especially in the lower stakes games that I play in... but I do fold there.
