I think you played this fine but...I like the check-raise idea on the flop more then betting out. Not for the flush though but to protect against the str8. I think a C/R has a high chance chance of it working since CO raised PF. I like getting gutshots to fold. Anybody with a 6 or 8 has odds to call one bet but not 2.

if you were CO, would you bet AK if checked to on this flop? i think i'd take my free card.

edit: sarge beat me..

I bet this flop if I'm CO every single time....

Would you check raise this as hero?

It would depend on the table. If I thought check-rasing would get gutshots to fold, yes I would. If they were all calling stations, oblivious to pot odds, I bet out and hope CO raises me trapping everyone between.
