 Raise to $30, hope CO folds. I'm thinking TT-JJ and villain calls, but you have nice overlay from the CO.

If SB's stack is any bigger fold

 CO clearly has a small pp so yeah I just push, because of stack sizes raising to 30 and pushing is the same.

 If you call are you happy staking off on on Axx, Kxx flop? You only hit the flop 30%, which you're getting approx the odds to chase. Do you win enough extra from villain when an A or K hits to offset the times you get stacked by AA/KK?

 Telling me why I'm wrong is more useful than quoting another barely useful post. I prob shouldn't have said anything because it doesn't even related to this hand.

... Or are you talking about CO? I'll definitley take that back.

 Re-lax. I'm tempted to gambool here as you are but with not a lot invested I'm thinking a fold is a more prudent play.

i was simply putting an idea out there as to be honest i think we have multiple options, and people will disagree.

My line with AK, even sooted, at <200nl is that it plays pretty lame against a typical preflop reraise range. Hence, despite the fact that a shorty is being donkish, and we assume is a donk becuase of his tack size, CO just called $10 cold in a position where he could be squeezed.
thus id prefer to fold and take notes rather than probably gambOOl against a slowplaying 'tard or someone whos showing an inability to fold hands he should do. fwiw, CO mut have something like JJ/TT and is weak/passive.

Maybe im weak/tight with AK but i think folding>raising(perhaps pushing)>calling but its also very close IMO.
