Re: (5.5) - Did I play this AKs poorly?
 

I have no experience on Poker Rewards, but at this level you'll see people calling significant PF raises wtih Ax, especially if it's suited. You could be looking at 2p (it is possible I think) or likely 99. I'd reraise the flop, TPTK doesn't get checked down at a 5.5.

Re: (5.5) - Did I play this AKs poorly?
 

Well, he had A9 offsuit and took down the pot. I can see the arguments for raising or pushing the flop, even though I would have likely been out of the tournament in 10th place. I think I lost the least I could have on this hand, though my play was probably not maximizing EV based on his possible holdings. The lesson for me being to be more aggressive in these situations because they have A-rag more often than the 2 pair or set. Thanks everyone.
