Another tricky AK (for me anyway)

This was MP2's second hand at the table.

PokerStars 1/2 Hold'em (10 handed) converter

Preflop: Hero is UTG+2 with K[img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img], A[img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img].
1 fold, UTG+1 calls, Hero raises, 1 fold, MP2 calls, 5 folds, UTG+1 calls.

Flop: (7.50 SB) J[img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img], Q[img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img], 6[img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img] (3 players)
UTG+1 checks, Hero bets, MP2 raises, UTG+1 calls, Hero calls.

How do you feel about my betting this flop? In my experience, the Stars players are quite a bit tighter than those on Party (on average).

Turn: (6.75 BB) A[img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img] (3 players)
UTG+1 checks, Hero bets, MP2 raises, UTG+1 calls, Hero calls.

Um, I didn't know what to do here. I thought about 3 betting, but just called. Does he have AQ? AJ? KT? 66? None of the above?

River: (12.75 BB) 3[img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img] (3 players)
UTG+1 checks, Hero checks, MP2 bets, UTG+1 calls, Hero calls.

Final Pot: 15.75 BB

Flop bet of course. Turn bet and call fine.

I think I would go ahead and bet the river figuring that even with two pair he may just call and not raise and that if he had just one pair of Qs or Js he might just show down and I would lose a bet.

*grunching*

im check/calling the flop (yes im weak). With 4 other people in, i dont like my chances of taking it down, and am almost certain i am behind.

Turn/River seem good to me

I worry what he would be raising with after coldcalling preflop and raising the flop. Although, nce the A comes on the turn and he raises me again, I still have a hard time finding a fold. River is fine in this case.

I find it hard to believe a busted flush draw would bet the river, unless he had AdXd or decided to bluff.

Thumbs up.

I check/fold this flop. All you really have is a gutshot and your A and K outs maybe be drawing dead to AJ,AQ,KJ, and KQ.
