Is folding pre-flop out of the question? You're going to be out of position, and you shouldn't be facing a worse hand than yours very often.

Well I was getting 2.75-to-1.

That flop pretty well sucks for you. You're behind AA/KK/QQ/TT, even with AK, and it's going to be real easy to fold the best hand when you're ahead if villain is aggressive. I think I'd lead the flop, but I don't think you can call if you get raised.

[/ QUOTE ] Yeah, I think this would have been better. Actually I was also thinking that check/folding the flop might have been ok too.
