Or is this superstandard? Ok, tonight I have suffered a fair share of bad beats. Aces got cracked twice and I ran into AA with AK. Now I don't tilt in an obvious fashion, like I will not suddenly start calling with overcards to pot sized bets and pushing junk to pf raisers, but I make some suspect calls. Right now I'm incapable of objectively analyzing my game, so was wondering if this hand was OK.

This is on Absolute and they seem unwilling to e-mail the HH - this site's such a joke.

Villain is donkish. But then, so is Hero.

I figured that since I checked the turn he may not put me on an ace. I then basically was committed to seeing a cheap showdown and villain was more than willing to oblige.

Pretty standard to me. If he's going to make it that cheap he may have a similar hand to yours. Or really suck. I think it's an auto call on river.

[WhatArunAA]

I like how you played it

[bdc30]

If he doesn't have an ace, you're not getting another chip off him by raising, and if he does, and you're beaten, you got away as cheaply as you could, with a hand that may still be best. NH.

[BeaverStyle]

I see nothing wrong with this hand, well done.

oh, and what bdc30 said.

[AcesUp46]

Standard.

[Ramram84]

you played it well. I would also argue for a continuation bet on the turn. the 8 is more than likely no help to anyone, so find out if villain still likes his/her hand.

Again, I don't disagree with the way you played it either.

The other stacks may be relevant to whether leading on the turn again is right, but just seeing these stacks, yeah...small pots for small hands.

[iggymcfly]

I don't like it. I think you played this way too passively. You have no reason to think you're behind, and I really don't see how you're folding this good of a hand after you hit considering how small the stacks are. I'd either bet 1/2 pot on the turn and push the river or c/c the turn and pot the river. You have absolutely no reason to think you're behind here.

Youve raised a decent amount from MP, an AK flops and you get a call to a good sized bet and you dont think theres reason to slow down? Anything more than check/call here is way overplaying TP3K imo.
