AK missed flop, opponent bets into you.

I probably call, maybe raise if it's a passive player who would give me a free card. Fold to a stop and go bet on the turn. Fold if the turn is checked through and he bets the river and I haven't caught. If he 3-bets flop, call and fold turn if unimproved, MAYBE fold immediately if he's a really passive type. I think it's too weak to just give up AK everytime you miss the flop.

Sure as hell don't fold, if only because of the ace of spades in hand. I tend to believe that UTG has flopped something here, so I think calling is the right play. UTG could easily be on a draw, so if the turn and river come with T, 8, etc. you are probably calling this one down the whole way.

On the other hand, if the turn is a 9 or a 7 (and not a spade), I am folding for another bet.
