Hello,

Please, I need advice in two different AKs hand types:

1- The flop made my hand a monster, but didn't know very well what to do.
What's the best play in cases like this?

Stack sizes:
UTG: $9.35
UTG+1: $2
UTG+2: $5.05
MP1: $12.70
MP2: $5
MP3: $10.35
CO: $6
Button: $4.87
SB: $5.71
Hero: $5.35

Pre-flop: (10 players) Hero is BB with K :diamond: A :diamond:
2 folds, UTG+2 calls, MP1, folds, MP2 (poster) checks, MP3, folds, CO (poster) checks, Button folds, SB calls, Hero raises to $0.6, UTG+2 calls, 2 folds, SB calls.

Flop: ($2.05) Q :heart: 4 :diamond: T :diamond: ($2, 3 players)
SB checks, Hero bets $2, 2 folds.
Uncalled bets: $2 returned to Hero.

Results:
Final pot: $2.05

2- I had TPTK, but a straight and a flush were possible.
Did I make the right move here?

1 - against two players the default play is to not do the cbet. And you didn't have a monster hand, it was still a monter draw, another reason to check and catch any card that help make your hand.

2 - i would do the same. TPTK is what we look for.. although even with your allin he probably had the odds to continue but no implied odds.

both hands are very well played, you did everything right here!

Hand 1 is a real monsterhand ( a draw, but you are still the favorite to win the pot) so getting lots of money in on the flop is the goal, and a PotsizeBet serves this purpose best. You have 12 secure outs(flush+straight) and 6 potential outs (Overcards).
The line to being favorite on the flop is at about 14 outs, so we want to get All-In on the flop here.

Hand 2 is an easy All-In to protect against any draws, you have TPTK which is also a really good hand for us with the SSS


Thanks for the reply =D
