PP 2/4 - AKo in small blind (too weak?)
 
Party Poker 2/4 Hold'em (10 handed)

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

Flop: (10 SB) 6[img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img], 8[img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img], T[img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img] <font color="blue">(5 players)</font>
Hero checks, <font color="CC3333">BB bets</font>, UTG+1 calls, MP2 calls, <font color="CC3333">CO raises</font>, Hero folds, BB calls, UTG+1 calls, MP2 calls.

EDIT: Overall, this was a decent (loose) 2/4 table, but nothing extraordinary.

Tough question, I think. I'd three-bet preflop, bet this flop on a relatively weak table (fire at the turn if the flop thinned enough), check-fold the flop on an aggressive table (assuming both limpers see the flop). You hvae a good chance of having the best hand before the flop. The flop didn't help you. No shame in giving up there.

I would have three-bet preflop. But since you didn't, and everyone and their Uncle Moe is in, I think that checkfolding this flop is fine.

I think you should just go ahead and three bet here. I used to most of the time just call, keep pot small, and check raise the flop if I hit. My reasoning was, these guys aren't going to fold to a three-bet, so what's the point. But now I think either they do fold after limping in, so I get dead money in, or they don't fold, and they probably have made a big mistake.

Your fold on the flop is a good one, IMO. Many players go too far with just overcards, when its raised to you, that almost always means bail.
