Limpers pre-flop ahead of me and with good position postflop I decided to raise PF and 2 callers. No reraise from the 2 callers so I don't think they are limping monsters.

K high flop with 2 clubs and a Q. TPTK looks good for me but there are possible flush/straight draws. It checks to me and I really don't want any cheap draws. I think I am ahead although KQ/QQ/66 do have me beat. I could bet the pot but if I do I figure I will be calling anyways so I push all-in to try and take the pot down on the flop. If the board had been less draw friendly then I would have bet around 2/3 pot hoping for a caller and then pushed the turn.

Comments appreciated.

Looks g00t.

Re: AKs - $10+1 - Level 1
 

For a $11 game, I think your postflop play is fine. I haven't played the $11s in over 2 years, so someone else may have to comment on the PF raise to 125.

Re: AKs - $10+1 - Level 1
 

I'd play this exactly same way.

Re: AKs - $10+1 - Level 1
 

I'd probably raise it to t90 or so, but I don't think t125 is terrible. I like the flop push.

I like your line here.

Re: AKs - $10+1 - Level 1
 

Nice hand, well played. Your PF raise is a bit more than I would raise. I think i would make it t90 or t100, but thats probably just me. In this case that would only have made it harder to play on the flop. Your ahead here most of the time, good push IMHO... sorry you lost [img]/images/graemlins/smile.gif[/img]
