Good work Homer. /images/graemlins/blush.gif

I think you played it alright, with the exception of just calling the flop raise.

I probably would have tried to check-raise the flop given the pre-flop action. If I get 3-bet then I would probably play the turn and river the same way. If its just called then bet out on the turn.

[Tosh]

I think you should reraise the flop. I think he has QQ.

[oddjob]

i think you should 3 bet preflop.
bet, and raise the flop.
bet the turn
bet the river.

you hit your hand, you most likely have the best hand. you can slow down after a 4-bet flop, or a raised turn.

I would have folded before the flop unless my opponents were both loose raisers. I don't think AKo has much value out of position against a raiser and a 3-bettor. Notice that being out of position caused you to give a horrible free card on the turn.

[CMangano]

I can't imagine folding AK just cause it has been raised and reraised, especially at Party. If you know the opponent well enough to know that he will only 3 bet with AA or KK, then folding would be right. But against some random Party Poker player, I am not folding and would not be at all surprised if he showed me AJs or something like that.
