Hero posts SB 15.00, BB posts BB 30.00

Pre Flop: (45.00) Hero has K♦ A♣

fold, fold, fold, MP+1 calls 30.00, CO raises to 180.00, fold, Hero calls 165.00, fold, fold

Flop: (420.00, 2 players) 8♣ 5♣ 7♥
Hero checks, CO bets 180.00, Hero calls 180.00

Hero checks, CO checks

River: (780.00, 2 players) 4♠
Hero checks, CO checks

Spoiler

Hero shows K♦ A♣ (One Pair, Eights) (Pre 62%, Flop 50%, Turn 68%)
CO mucks Q♣ T♣ (One Pair, Eights) (Pre 38%, Flop 50%, Turn 32%)
Hero wins 780.00

Better to shove pre? This bigger preflop raise looks like please, just go away, i have some beautiful hands but i don't want to play them... Your opinion on that?

As played, i called flop cuz of over cards and backdoor flush draw, planning on folding if nothing shows up. Then he checked behind... should i do anything else here or as played trying to go to show down as cheap as possible?

Hi RovarTry,

In my opinion your best line here would be to 3bet AI considering that AK is ahead of COs range but it would be more complicated to play post flop, since you are OOP. We have ~ 6.5x pot effective stack, so you risk reward ratio is decent.

As played, you should be tying to get to show down as cheap as possible.
