thoughts on flatting the AKcc pre vs him if you think he's gonna put you in tons of hell postflop? Something you'd consider anyway surely in level 1/2?
I see what you are saying but:
1) I had no reason to believe he was going to put me in tons of hell postflop other than him having a rep for being a bit of a sicko. Hadn't really actually done anything out of line
2) If I did think he was going to put me in tough spots post this is more of an argument for 3betting than against, better to keep the SPR smaller were I to assume that he's going to have an edge on me which...
3) In a 3bet pot in position with AKcc and the initiative vs his far weaker range, it doesn't really matter how much better a postflop player than me he is. It's always going to be a good situation for me long term.
