How Would You Play this PLH Hand?

PLH 5 and 10 blinds. Game is somewhat tighter than normal, but

usual cast of characters in a nine handed game. One early limper

and I am in the cutoff with AKh. I make it $40. Both blinds

call and UTG calls.


The flop comes T 9 4 with two hearts. It is checked to me and

I bet the pot. Both blinds fold and UTG raises me exactly $160.

(the size of the pot before the flop). We each have around

$700 remaining. I go all in and my opponent calls. My opponent

is on the loose side, but he is not a maniac and he is capable

of laying a hand down.


The turn and river do not improve my hand. My opponent turns

over pocket Sevens to win. I say nice hand (not sarcastically

either) and he goes on to tell everyone at the table how he

knew I had AK.


Questions and comments appreciated.
