this is a hand thats been annoying me

$2-4, 6 handed utg calls as does the small blind and i made it $20 with A-K which the first player calls. he is quite loose and agressive but has been winning a lot

the flop was a-k-x with two hearts and i bet $30 which he quickly called. then the turn was another heart. what do i do now? the player has been caught bluffing before and i dont want to get bluffed off the hand, but i dont see what he could call me with and then want to bet this card except a flush.

on the actual hand i checked and he bet $75 which i got stubborn and called then on the river i fired $50 hoping i could get a showdown but he went ahead and raised me $200 more anyway which i folded to

can i just fold the hand on the turn or is it too good?

i think i am leading out on the turn. i would bet about 45. if he goes over the top, i am prolly laying it down unless u had a good read on him and have seen him make this play before. very tough laydown.

No thoughts about check-raising the flop?

Check, goes check check here more times than not I think.

This is one of those types of SH hands that's hard to analyze in the hand in particular since it can be heavily dependent on previous action. But, I think the turn is more of a bet/fold than anything just because there are a lot of hands calling the flop and folding the turn that are going to bluff if checked to.

I think you'd need a killer read to call this. You have to fold here more often than not.

Nightmare hand there, I have lost more money with two pair in my hand than I care to admit. For some reason I usually have to see the flush, and for some reason they usually have it. I would have probably bet a bit more on the flop, at least the pot, if you get drawn out then you have got to release I think.
