You bet too much on every street IMO. I personally dont like to bloat the pot unless i got the nuts or close to it. Preflop, raise a bit less. On the flop, if you bet half the pot, you are charging any draw plenty. Other than that, its really hard to get away from this with no reads. Play AK like the drawing hand that it is, and it shouldnt be a big loser.

Hard to get a better flop than AK2 with AK. How is he betting too much? AK might be a drawing hand, but he just hit his draw. I have no problem putting my stack behind top two pair with no flush or straight out there.

Would you consider a KK2 flop close enough to the nuts to bloat the pot?

Half a pot on the flop is laying 3:1 to a flush draw, which doesn't make them chase incorrectly.

AK2 is preferable because a set of 7's is not possible on the AK2 board.

I go broke here as well.

I like the way you played it. If he has 22, I like the way he played it too. Sometimes you are destined to lose it all, and this is one of those situations.

Depending on the player, lots of hands could call the PSB on the flop and donk the turn. I expect to see a big draw here Q[img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img]J[img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img] or similar here a decent portion of the time.

This is what variance really is....not "oh, I lost cause of a bad beat." If villain has me...thats poker. You need to play this aggro, and you took a fine line. Smile when he shows ATo. HAHHAHA.

Great Point.

You just can't be aggressive if you're always worried about the worst possible scenario.

I remember hearing David Lee Roth say that when he goes fishing, he brings a frying pan and a camera.

if you want honest answers I don't think it's best to post the results of your hand in the OP. but meh. if this guy had 22, if you're not going broke on the turn you're going broke on the river.

Re: I\'m going broke here everytime right? AKs 100NL
 

Going broke. Hell, half the time I KNOW he has 22 but push everytime.
