Cash Game Hand
Honeybadg:
10 handed Home Game
£1/2 no limit.
We are playing with optional Live Straddles.
I am effectively UTG with £1/2 blinds plus £4 small straddle and £8 big straddle in play.
I have £650 - AKs
I limp for £8.
We gain a further 4 limpers for £8 (including the small straddle)
Stacks are c£300, c£250, c£500, c£450.
Big Straddle who has £173 raises to £63.
What should I do?

jam it in his eye
JamieCarra:
Raise to £25- £30 when you"re first to act, now I repop to 200 calling a shove from anyone
lukybugur:
I"d raise to £150, and would expect this would be enough to make the limpers behind you Fold. If you face a shove by any of the other limpers for anything above £340, and if £8 Straddler Calls ... hmmm tricky spot, but at least you"ll have paid the minimum to find out that you MIGHT not be a favourite in the hand.
Jamming in this spot seems a pretty loose way to be donking off anything from 125 to 250 Big Blinds IMO. A race for £175 is fine, for more than that ... I"d have to take everything I know about the players into serious consideration before making any decision on committing a BuyIn.
Is this a £1k+ per person type night?
LongshanksED:
Been in the pub all day but let me get this right.
Big straddle after his straddle has £240 or so left (before he"s to act). With blinds being £1,£2 straddle £4 straddle £8 = £15
with me to act with AK I"d make it around £35 in an attempt to take blinds and straddles
you"ll probably find big straddle may fight back or at least defend but with AK (and having almost triple his stack) and in position I"m happy to gamble if he shoves or call
Should he call it will be approx £75 pot so should you miss and he makes a move and you think your beat you can still get away from it
but I am very very drunk at the moment andwill reread this in the morning
