I always find it hard to play AK when I hit the ace but a few other Broadway cards are shown. For example: 1-2 on FTP:A K in SB1 limper, CO raises, I decide to just call out of position, BB calls.Flop: A 10 Q I bet, BB raises, two folds, I call.Turn: A 10 Q 7 Check, bet, call.River: A 10 Q 7 3 .Check, check.BB turns over A Q Should I bother three-betting and possibly getting capped on flops with 3 broadway showing, or was this correct? I am mentioning mostly my flop play; on the turn and river I think I played it OK. Should I have three-bet preflop (almost guaranteed that BB would call anyway, but maybe useful in the future)?

lmao!he's right, though, yang. you're playing a little passively. more often than not, your AK will be good.if you get capped on the flop, then you can slow down and go into check-call mode, but i think you have to three-bet the flop.and definitely, definitely, definitely three-bet pre-flop. it's for value. AK is NOT a drawing a hand. you have strong equity.aseem
