Default Re: AKo is costing me

The reason you are losing money with AK is that you are not playing aggressive enough.

1) Do not min-raise the flop. With TPTK and nut-flush draw, you probably have the best hand, and if you are not, you are the favorite vs. 2-pair and even money vs. a set. Reraise to at least $7, push all-in if you get re-reraised.

2) Do not show weakness on the turn by checking. Bet 3/4-1x the pot.

3) Ok, if villain makes it to the river, it is OK to check behind.
