Again with the HOH -- is this too much to invest on a bluff/semi-bluff?

CO (t965)

Hero (t745)
BB (t715)
UTG (t845)
UTG+1 (t1795)
MP1 (t1115)
MP2 (t1105)

Preflop: Hero is SB with K/images/graemlins/heart.gif, A/images/graemlins/club.gif.
<font color="#666666">1 fold</font>, UTG+1 calls t30, <font color="#666666">3 folds</font>, Button calls t30, <font color="#CC3333">Hero raises to t100</font>, <font color="#666666">1 fold</font>, UTG+1 calls t70, Button folds.

I make the same bet as you .......only have 1 caller and some outs even if he does call. I think anything less shows weakness on your part.

Seems like a good bet.

Pretty ugly flop though, if you are hoping your opponent will fold in a $11 tournament.

Do you just check/fold in this spot?

It seems like I face this situation a lot with AK in the early phase of the game. I'm never sure whether to make a continuation bet on these semi coordinated flops.

Does anyone limp AK from the SB in this spot or is that just terrible? I hate playing AK for the SB in the early levels because you run into this situation a lot. Note - I'll make a good raise (4x BB + 1 per limper) with AK if I'm anywhere in mid position to the button. Playing AK from the blinds or EP is really tough during the early levels.

I have limped in this spot from the SB.

It might have been terrible. I honestly don't know.

I like to overbet the pot on any hand I raise from the SB because the positional disadvantage is too great. I probably would have raised to 150 or 175 on this hand.
