No reads on opponents yet. Pick up AK in position versus the blinds. Not sure what is the correct post flop action.

I'm thinking SB may have a weaker ace and I might get paid off there, so should I shove/call? Maybe I should just lay it down? Hate these hands.

Flush draw seems less likely to me considering the A and K are already accounted for so that points to hands like AK/AQ/AJ/66/77/67 for SB and a little tighter than that for the BB. (check/raise knowing its going to showdown against at least 1 and prob 2 people represents strength to me) Without reads its a very tough position, I would actually lay it down (too tight?) although I think we are ahead here some of the time, just not enough to justify a call.

Again looking forward to other comments!

I probably dump this. You're not facing 1, but 2 check-raises. Looks like either they have monster draws or 2pair or better. SB has more money behind in his stack and if you call here, you are basically pot-committed.

Only way I call is if these players are just really really bad.

Yep hate it and fold. SB is still to act. He check-raised you on A high flop so he is prob beating 1 pair often enough and has you covered. BB reraised that check raise so i cant see how you are in front enough here for a shove.
