Hi all, so i`ve just managed to Donk off a $20 buy-in (0.10-0.20) by getting all in with AK against KK. It was folded to the button who raised, i re-raised from the small blind then button guy put me all-in and i called. I know this was a bad mistake but its very hard to put someone on Kings when its been raised on the button when it`s been folded round.

Has anyone got any advise on how to gauge whether it is a big hand or not, or should i never call with AK in this spot EVER!

Any advise would be greatly recieved.

Cheers

I'm sure your answer (chart?) is in articles about BSS play

I actually found it for you

7. When there are raises behind
AA and KK
Raise with these hands in every case. In the ideal case, you're already all-in before the flop. Fold all other hands that you've raised before, e.g. QQ or AK.
