My question is should you re-raise pre flop with AK AQ in a s max game? Of course if some one is raising a lot or if it is on the button then yes. But what has got me thinking is that if you are up against a pocket pair, which will be a fair amount of the time then you stand to loose a fair bit if you miss. Say they have 99-QQ, you re-rasie them and then cbet but have to shut it down after that, especally if it is a ragged board. This hand kind of epitomies this. Could i also get some advice about the hand, I supsected he hand exactly what he did have by the turn which is why i did not bluff the river. Thanks
