This hand appears very passive, but I have a pretty good read on the T/A raiser. (13%/9%, high post flop AF after 115 hands)

I would fold preflop. Barring that, it's likely I'd checkraise the flop and call a 3-bet. Turn play would depend on the card and how many players left in, pot size, etc.

I fold this preflop -- think of the possibilities a TAG is going to raise you with - AA KK JJ QQ 1010 AK AQ KQs - most of which have u beat, or drawing to a losing hand

I'm 3-betting (if I bet out) or c/r'ng the flop here. I probably check/call til showdown (UI) if I'm 3-bet/capped too.

T/A had AK? you got lucky.. next time fold preflop. It's rarely correct to call a raise with KQo.

Good call! Yes, it was AK (I could see JJ as the only other possibility) I was VERY labored over this decision; getting 11:1 (I was certain the limpers would call), it seemed like I had to call; although playing out of position with a hand that's almost certainly dominated is not worth 10:1

This was one of the luckiest hands I've ever played, no question.
