Raise pre - I'd make it like 400 or so.As played to the flop, raise when you get your first chance to act. As played the 2nd time around, snap call. Your hand is very under-repped and you have fantastic equity in this pot.

This.Seriously, what is your question? We can't hope for a better flop than this. We have a hand that will play great against any number of players with any range of hands. Just get the money in and fire up another if you lose.

try putting the whole hand into the converter, not just the part you want to discuss. i dont mind just calling preflop. we'd have to make a pretty big raise to get the pot HU and we'll be out of position if we do. plus the pot size will be big compared to our stack size, and there's a bunch of flops we dont want to get all our chips in on. i really dont like putting all our chips in at the 15/30 level with an M of about 60 and a single pair even if we do hit. yeah, AK is a big hand and rates to be better than the field, but we'd have to put in a large % of our stack OOP. that being said, this is one flop you don't mind getting it all in on. I probably ship after the SB raise.

You gotta accumulate chips sometime. This is a perfect spot to squeeze, and the fact that you have a premium makes it even more worthwhile to do so. Yes we will be OOP, but it also means that when we c-bet (and we will on basically any flop), villain will have to have hit it pretty hard to continue.

if we get it HU, which won't always happen. i agree we need to accumulate chips, but we dont need to be in a huge hurry to do it. our M is 60. the risk of it dropping to 30-40 is bigger than the advantage we get of raising it t0 70-80 at this stage of the tournament. if we make it 400 and get a caller, now the pot is almost 1000 and we have 2200 left in our stack. a c-bet would probably be 400-600. we're risking way too much of our stack hoping that 1. we get HU, 2. we get a good flop to c-bet, 3. our opponent doesn't hit the flop or just catch enough of it to shove. in position would make a ton of difference, as we could control the pot size much easier. here, we cant.

I like your call preflop, i dont really like to play that hand oop but...on the flop, do whatever you want to get all the chips on the middle!!and, in that spot, i'd break my hand to call

Yeah nice trap.
