Villain is pretty loose aggressive, running at about 40/20.

I re-raise my pocket 3's from the SB against him. In this situation with small Pocket Pairs, I probably either call, fold, or re-raise an equal amount of time (Well, I probably raise more than I fold).

I've got to lead out on this flop, right? When he flat calls, what do you think of that? When the turn pairs the board again, would you ever fire a 2nd bullett and rep a King? Or do you think that he has a King himself 100% of the time with his line?

Maybe fire out a half pot bet here? Only someone with a King could continue on then I would think.

Hero ????????

PF is not something I would do, but I think that is more of a style choice than anything. If you feel you can balance your game by 3-betting this, then its fine.

As for the flop, yea - lead is standard.

When he calls, his range is probably K's and PP's, maybe a few xh hands. I don't think this is a good time for a 2nd barrel, because its a nuts/air line - and I woudnt be surprised if you get looked up by QQ-88 here.

Another style thing, but If I had a King here, I would probably check the turn, so for me, the double barrel doesnt fit my game.

How would you play AK on this flop.turn?
