I posted the first hand in the HA forum, but I'll make the other post here since my query is way more generic.
My default play (read: always-play, right now) is to raise or re-raise with AKo. Tenbob, late Saturday night after quite a few drinks in London, mentioned in passing that "calling or raising, both are fine."
So, when's calling preferable? Off the top of my head, I'd say "deep stacks and out of position," but are there other considerations that sway it? Versus a nit? Versus a maniac, I'm pretty sure I'm happy getting as much money in with it as possible. Versus a somewhat short stack, I feel good about making myself committed if I flop top pair. But versus a 18/13/2.5 regular?
Etc.
