Cash Game Hand
Swinebag:
I think you should open raise here (unless you are limping because you think someone will definitely raise it up) to say £30. As played, I make it £180 with a view to getting it in here. In cash games AK is the nuts (isn"t it??). The only thing you are worried about is KK or AA, and given your holding this is unlikely. even if the have KK, you can still hit an A to win. Obv v AA you are toast but thats just a cooler...reload!!

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?

The home game has acquired a strange set up ... start point is £100 pot limit £1/£2, but when you hit £50 you can re-buy to £200 ... unlimited re-buys.
Each night everyone puts £20 in for a jackpot which is paid for 4 of a kind or better - this rolls over - when paid has to go on the table!
Last night our dealer was only available from 7.30pm-Midnight ... so we changed to NL at that point.
Last time I looked at the stats average position was +/- £350
I think last night was a little steeper.
Big win in my time +£1,362 ... biggest defeat -£1,500 (even with a £600 jackpot win)
There has been talk of changing the buy-in to start deeper but the early £100 flips are quite fun!
Very friendly and fun game.

In terms of the hand itself ... I liked the limp ... but agree I should have re-raised to isolate the Big Straddle.
Instead I elected to flat call the £63 ... everyone else folds.
Flop is Q86 ... two diamonds ... I have AK spades ...
Big Straddle all in for £110 ... do I call?
