($22) ITM, AK in a tough SB vs. BB
 

BB is playing loose. On every occasion prior to this hand when folded to me and I raise his BB, he has called instantly. I feel I played fine till the turn where I messed up big time. How much do u raise preflop knowing his earlier actions in similair situations? How much do u bet on the flop? And most importantly whats ur action on this turn?

PF I like the raise t800 a lot more than raise t600. Also you need to pot the flop or may just push becausethere are so many draws out there.

You played it fine. No free flop of course. Raising more OOP isn't necessary. You charged him plenty, you made a perfect c-b. HU-ITM, no foul in getting them all in on this turn. With his stack, and your &lt;1/2 turn lead (though it should have been at least 1/2 to charge the draws), he could be pushing over here with a lessor hand. Calling is a must.

Raise to 750-800 preflop then pot bet or overbet the flop.
