AK in position, should I fold?
it's $5-10NL. it's a 10 handed game. everyone with about $1k
I have AK on the button. One player limps, I make it $35 to go. BB calls and the limper calls. the flop comes A 6 2 rainbow. it's checked to me. I bet $75. the BB calls, the other player folds. the turn is a 6 [img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img] making a flush draw out there. the BB checks and I bet $150 and he calls. The river is a 2 [img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img] and the BB bets $300(about 1/2 the pot). Should I fold or call? Should I have played this any differently up to that point?

Re: AK in position, should I fold?
In this scenario, I typically overbet the pot on the flop.

You have to call. You are getting 3 to on your money.
You could have checked the turn if you wanted to keep the pot small. Don't worry so much about a runner runner flush draw. Usually I would check that turn.

[/ QUOTE ] Yeah, but how many reasonable players would call a 3/4 pot bet with no draw and a marginal hand? There is no reason to overbet the pot.

Re: AK in position, should I fold?
wtf is this reasoning...basically you get nothing out of them when you are ahead, and lose a lot more when you're behind? this is terrible advice...

[/ QUOTE ] yes, so an overbet runs you into the two pair and set hands, and you fold all weaker aces. the marginal hands are the only hands you're beating which can call a flop bet, so you really dont want them to fold. *you want them to call incorrectly (esp because the marginal hands, such as weaker aces, middle pair, under pairs, have 2 to 5 outs) this is where I'd half pot the flop, pot control turn, call or bet myself on river... maximize value vs weaker aces and minimize vs two pair / sets...
