AK, played correctly?

Well should I have raised the flop? Folded the turn? This was a big enough pot I figured I had to call the turn.

SB was 36/9/1.0
table vpip was 29 and PFR 8

Raise the flop and try for the free card, otherwise fine.

i don't know if i cap this preflop. i also don't know how effective raising the flop would be at getting a free card so i may just call here. you could also easily be reverse-dominated. i think you played it fine, but i don't cap pf.

A free card may be tough to get, it could be worth a try, you also gain some information by raising the flop. But that is it. I think a flop raise could be considered optional and then you played the rest of the hand fine. You have to call the turn. I think the river fold is fine.

I cap this PF because of all the other people in the hand.

If it was heads up with the 3-bettor, I would just call. However, I would get one more bet in because AK probably holds a signifigant equity advantage over the majority of the other hands.

Looks good. I wouldn't raise anywhere because I think it's very likely that you will get 3-bet. Don't fold until the river because it's likely that your 6 outs are mostly good.

Raising for a free card here just get's you 3-bet. Villian hasn't slowed down at all and all an all blank flop you expect him to slow down?
