AK gets tricky
 

Party Poker 0.50/1 Hold'em (10 handed)

Preflop: Hero is MP1 with K[img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img], A[img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img].
<font color="CC3333">UTG raises</font>, UTG+1 folds, UTG+2 folds, <font color="CC3333">Hero 3-bets</font>, MP2 folds, MP3 calls, CO folds, Button folds, SB calls, BB folds, <font color="CC3333">UTG caps</font>, Hero calls, MP3 calls, SB calls.

Flop: (17 SB) J[img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img], K[img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img], 6[img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img] <font color="blue">(4 players)</font>
SB checks, <font color="CC3333">UTG bets</font>, <font color="CC3333">Hero raises</font>, MP3 folds, SB calls, <font color="CC3333">UTG 3-bets</font>, Hero calls, SB calls.

Turn: (13 BB) Q[img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img] <font color="blue">(3 players)</font>
<font color="CC3333">SB bets</font>, UTG calls, Hero calls.

River: (16 BB) A[img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img] <font color="blue">(3 players)</font>
<font color="CC3333">SB bets</font>, UTG calls, Hero calls.

Final Pot: 19 BB

I don't have any specific doubts, but I'd like some feedback from others. UTG was doing a good job convincing me his hand was for real, but things really went sour with SB waking up on the turn. Crying calls from there on out. Comments? Thanks!

Looks good to me all the way down.

Yeah, I feel that I was destined to lose money here. Anyone else have comments?

I have no idea why the SB wouldn't CR here. It seems like he's probably have AT. However, as the pot is pretty big, I think you need make the crying calls.

What did UTG have that he capped/3-bet, then fell asleep? If he's got AA, maybe he's worried about 2-pair, but other than that, he's got to have JJ, KK, or KJ, right?

I think you're probably losing here, but I also think you'll win this hand more than once in eighteen times at party .50+1. There's nowhere to get away from this one.
