6max NL50 game, effective stack 100bb. Hero (UTG) raises 3xbb with AKo. BTN raise 9xBB. What is best Heros response against a)nit, b)LAG, c)reg. Pot-sized raise, all-in or flat call?And would would be best play in 10NL game?

But there is a possibilty i may reraise the LAG, but then you gotta worry about the crazy bastard going allin... but then again, im not that good so my opinion doesnt carry much weight. ;)

Well, I have kicked myself many times not calling this with AK - and he shows unders, or AQ s etc...if the bets small enough call and see where it leads. You could always shove over the top like most pros but your BR may suffer short term. I might wait for better than AKo most times - even if its a spit pot all in your losing $. (i.e. AKs vs AKo etcc)...Wait til your comfortable - like you have a plus 70% odds and go fot it. They may have pocket pair and your 48% dog or 75% dog...Id prolly wait for a stronger position and lead out.

don't let player just 3 bet and win. 4 bet this guy and make it known he cant just 3bet as he pleases. If you fold Ak here what do u 4 bet? if your not confident enough playing AK post flop then fold but really your saying the only hands you 4 bet are AA and KK. Personally I 4 bet here.

Well that is dependent on the players playing style post flop....So I personally hate calling when OOP against a nit in general so I personally fold, or 4 bet shove against them (Yet depends soley on there post flop play, and how much they usually C-Bet post flop).

Against B) I'm 4 betting all day long (Yet I must add it also has to depend on my own image also). How does the table perceive me, how often am I getting 3 bet by certain players, do they think of the possibility of me having a real hand? Can they think about my hand, and what hand I'd be repping post flop against them?

And against C) I would personally just Flat since (You defined them as a reg), this would make it seem like they play these levels on a usual basis. So the question is are they a good reg or a losing reg? If there a losing reg then I just 4 bet/ call a jam, and if there a winning reg I 4 bet call, but 1 thing is clear I don't fold AKo period:D..

Hence why I suck:p
