I'm chip leader, and with turbo blinds happy to just steal blinds. I get AK early/mid position not really too happy stacking off 50/50 or slight favorite but don't mind too much either.

Do you guys like to make it 4x or 5x blind with AK and my chip stack which pretty much announces "I have a go broke hand, i'm more than willing to stack off against you if you reraise me all in"

or do you prefer make it 2-3x blind (keeping in mind my chip stack) so people are less likely to stack off/steal and more inclined to see flops.

and if they just flat (how pissed are you) do you give them credit for being good (tricky) bad (nitty). although i would say calling is a huge tell since it seems like such a weak play...unless u do it with weak/good hands enough.

its always bad to raise 4 blinds with 25 blind stack

btw the fact that u are raising 2-3x is more tempting for them to reshove light.

and this hand is snap call because he could have worse aces too and we are ahead of his range

i thought less in pot, they are more likely not to steal. but i can see how 4x bb bet can scare off weaker hands and only have them push with better hands.

SO, consensus is to

3x bb, call shove. thanks for the input both of you.
