MP2's stats: 25/17.9 over 28 hands, raising a lot preflop. MP3 stats: 29/3.2 over 31 hands. After i reraised with AK and two-way all-in, there's lots of money in the pot already. call or fold in this tough situation?

PokerStars No-Limit Hold'em, $2 BB (9 handed) Poker-Stars Converter Tool from FlopTurnRiver.com (Format: FlopTurnRiver)

SB ($110.35)

UTG+1 ($35)
MP1 ($112)
MP2 ($124.15)
MP3 ($172.30)
CO ($194.45)
Hero ($199)

3 folds, MP2 raises to $8, MP3 calls $8, 1 fold, Hero raises to $30, 2 folds, MP2 raises to $124.15, MP3 raises to $172.3, Hero ???

No way I'm stacking off here. If they were soooooooted and I was feeling horneee I might stick it in, but not here.

Looks like mp3 has AA or KK and was hoping to get MP2 to get frisky on the flop. What he got was his action preflop and stuck it all in while the money was flowing

based on my observation, MP3 was not a good player at all. Definitely, i'm not worried about MP3.

Interesting spot. I think we need to consider just calling here pre-flop.

Does this have to do (in part) to the relatively deep stacks? By deep i of course mean short.. since I wasn't paying attention to the stakes.....

To the OP... I think one of my biggest overall leaks is the effect of sticking my money into a place like this, which is likely to be -EV. The process of putting in and losing really isn't that bad (slight tilt maybe...) The worst part is when I ACTUALLY WIN... this makes me feel like I am the god of unlimited hold 'em.. which subsequently causes me to make a dozen or more heroic/crying/fucking-retarded calls over my next few sessions that costs me a lot of money. Be wise, and look for a better spot to get your money in.
So you click their picture and then you get their money?

I would definitely reraise a 25/18 in position with AK

reraising with AK in position against these two semi-loose guys is no-brainer in my opinion. As played, i did hit an ace on the river after folding to huge aggression

I just love that just calling is over-looked because you've been told to raise here and I guess that's good enough.

We have position and as bad as they might play pre-flop, they very well could be much worse post-flop.
