Re: Trouble with AK
I'd be inclined to raise the flop. he could be drawing, or have a weak pair. Its a big pot so cleaning up some of your outs might be a good idea here. plus it can buy you a free card

Re: Trouble with AK
I think peeling one off on the flop is okay, especially since the board is full of low cards, though I wouldn't be happy if it got raised or checkraised behind me at all.
I'd probably give up on the turn. The top card just paired so you could be drawing dead (however, at the same time, if no one does have trips, your outs against a hand like A5 did just improve). Also, with so many opponents in, the chance that catching aces up on the river will give someone else a flush are better than usual. Unfortunately, the number of players in has also increased the pot size and made it tempting to call, but I still would fold. |

Re: Trouble with AK
Raising the flop is better. The pot is large, you can knock out players after you and have a shot at a free card on the turn.
Calling the Turn is spewing. Time to let go. |

Re: Trouble with AK
with no backdoor draws (runner 3 4 is not going ot be considered) i am partial to calling the flop like you did.
however with him continuing on the turn you have to fold here. |

Re: Trouble with AK
Hmm, I really really hate this flop call. IMHO its either raise or fold. I'm probably raising here to clean up overcards and to try for the free card on turn.
