How should I play AKo here?
 
UTG+1 is loose-agressive, SB has been playing tight so far but he's only been at the table for two orbits.

Did I play this too agressively, not agressively enough?

Preflop: Hero is MP1 with K[img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img], A[img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img]. UTG posts a blind of $0.5.

I'm not sure about the flop cap. I'd probably fold the river.

Yeah, I suppose you're right - it just feels awful since the pot is big. But SB showing strength the whole way and UTG+1 waking up on the river equals bad news.

Calling one bet here is fine. Two against 2 opponents...no way.

Turns out folding the river would have been a good idea. SB showed down AKo, and UTG + 1 showed K [img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img] 10 [img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img] for the turned straight.

I figured I was probably beat, but with such a large pot I only had to be right 10% of the time to make the call worthwhile. I guess maybe next time I won't try so hard to talk myself into calling.

Thanks for the advice.
