What are you doing betting this hand? Do you figure it to be the best hand? There isn't any fold equity in this big of a pot. Also, either fold or call preflop. If the game has alot of people to the flop on average you can call, otherwise fold AK preflop to a raise and a reraise.-----------

Yes. Unless, like, UTG raises an everone calls to you on the CO. Then it's worth it getting 7.5-1 on your money.-----------

No, it wasn't correct. If he plays loose, he may well have raised A9, K9s, or 66. Fold, and wait until you have a hand to take his money with.-----------

Looks good to me. If he 3-bets you on the turn what are you going to do? It might be better just to call him down. Anyone have some thoughts on his last one?

1st handSure the flop raise is correct.If you had A Q and the board wasJ 10 4 Then sure, your raise is correct. But I don't think this raise is giving you a free turn card, and it didn't.Lucky you though.2nd handCheck the turn.3rd handCheck/fold the turn.4th handYikes. I don't cap with AKo. Also, what are you beating with this bet on the flop? 4 players cap pre-flop and you don't put one of them on A-A, K-K, or a queen? You didn't get raised on the flop, which is pretty amazing here. I wouldn't bet this flop again. Check/fold.Since you are in on the turn, again I would check/fold. I don't know what you are beating with 2 players who got their money in PF capped.Good check on the river, you get called if you are beat anyway.5th handI would raise in good position here PF.Good raise on the flop.Good raise on the turn. Probably still winning with no one raising yet.Did you delete a raise on the river? Still, good bet, and you have to call the raise anyway if there was one.6th handGood fold.7th handYou know better.8th handPerfect. Way to end it. =)

Betting the turn is bad with the flush draw. Your equity isn't near high enough to make that bet a bet for value. It's chip spewing.

I didn't think about this when I originally said he played it right.I could see an argument for just calling the turn, although I think you probably get more value out of the raise.

I realized this and changed it right after I posted it.

You don't think this is loose?

[wrto4556]

no, you have two big overcards an a gut shot. Raise to clean up your outs and hopefully get a free card on the turn. Don't bet the turn. If you are bet into on the turn and you dont have the odds to continue you have to fold. BTW, the odds you need are 6-1.

hand 1: smart raise, good job. I like the handhand 2: generally I like having one more person in the pot before me(even in late position) to play this hand, other than that looks finehand 3: good fold and I like the betting on both streetshand 4: there was no reason to play this hand in the first place, your in MP1 with a third nut flush draw. If you are gonna play this hand you need to be in late position and with a lot of peole in the pot already, five or six I feelhand 5: either cold call or fold here, to which I'm leading towards folding. I like to be setting the tempo PF with this hand since its unsuited, capping is generally a bad idea with AKo. I don't have much to say about the rest, the big decision here is PFhand 6: raise PF, but don't call two cold. I like how you played it from the flop onhand 7: yes, you only want to limp or make an opening raise, you can sometimes raise if there is one limper in the pothand 8: fold the turn, what can you beat here that makes it worth it?hand 9: I like how you played it

Hey Kdawg. It's Ok to raise QTs after about 5 people enter the pot. You have some equity.
