Re: Whiffed AK on a paired flop: Fight or run away?
You could be up against AQ, in which case your drawing to 3 K outs. On the other hand, you just as likely could be up against a weaker Q or JJ etc, in which case your AK is probably worth more like 4 outs. And don't forget the BDSD. I figure your'e worth around 5 outs, and pot odds dictate you see the turn. A raise might force the 1 player out behind you and win a free card, so I raise.
If I get re-raised, I'm fairly sure I'm reverse dominated. In that case, only my BDSD is live. At 1.5 outs and a 1:16 bet facing me, I gladly fold.
