Hi,

I'm wondering how I can play my AK differently when I missed the flop, what do you think of the hand played?

Pre Flop: (pot: 1.5 BB) Hero has A♣ K♥

fold, UTG+1 raises to 2.25 BB, fold, fold, fold, fold, fold, SB calls 1.75 BB, Hero raises to 11.25 BB, UTG+1 calls 9 BB, fold

Flop: (24.75 BB, 2 players) T♥ 8♦ 7♥
Hero bets 8.15 BB, UTG+1 calls 8.15 BB

Turn: (41.05 BB, 2 players) 2♦

Spoiler

Hero checks, UTG+1 bets 20.53 BB, fold

UTG+1 wins 41.05 BB

I would most likely call pre-flop, because I don’t want to play a big pot OOP with AK and then it’s easier to play the hand post-flop I think.

As played I would check/fold the flop. I expect he has to often a middle pocket pair in his range and they don’t fold on a Cbet most likely.

Cheers,

I think your raise is way to big pre, I would raise to 8bb max or 6bb IP.

In most ca\se I would cbet but in this case the board is so wet that would give up OTF
