Comments on all streets please.

Pre-flop: Should I raise more? If so, how much?
Flop: Given the flop's texture (either I'm really ahead or really behind), would I be better off checking behind to keep the pot small and check/call if he bets the rest of the way?

Did I make the correct laydown?

You don't think CO might try a check-raise here with AK?

If not, then he has KQ, KK, or QQ.

Seems like an OK laydown, if you know your player well enough.

[JohnnyLaw]

I tended to think not. I checked pokertracker and the only other time he CR'd was when he had 2-pair with A-J. However, the possibility that he could be making the same play with AK was still at the back of my mind during the hand.

ridiculous spot.

preflop fine.

flop... so tough. I'm on the fence. the board isn't draw heavy so why would he check raise with a set of queens. Also do you think he would raise PF with KQ, and wouldn't he reraise with KK?

If you can't call a raise on the flop from him, then check. Seems like AK to me, but I can't fault your laydown. Whats his won showdown %.

[JohnnyLaw]

He went to showdown 26% and won 55%.

I think he would min-raise with KQ in the cutoff. This is the hand i actually put him on.

Also, if I decide to play the hand past the flop, would it be better to simply call on the flop or push all in?

I lean towards calling so I can get more money out of the potential AK.

I really do not see AK check raising on this flop. Very nice lay down.
