Seriously ?? Did anyone Not see this 10 coming.

tough beat and a HORRIBLE call on your opponents part with only A10 off... but I dont understand your raise.... there was only a standard raise in front of you preflop, I like a reraise, but overall there is no need to raise THAT much....you're asking for trouble.... it should of pushed him out in this instance though....tough break

i thought my re-raise makes alot of good sense and is a somewhat standard play with AK in that position.

Does anyone else hate the re-raise, i admit it could be the completely wrong thing to do - just looking for other opinions.

I don't like the huge reraise, but I've seen VERY GOOD players who shove em in with AK each and every time.... Seems crazy to me, but it seems to work.

I guess in a tourney if you are playing for the win...... I dunno.

Not only will I ask for trouble, I will search for "trouble" with my AK vs A10 anyday.
