Another whiff with AK

[rtucker5]

Here is a hand I played the other day that I was curious to see if other posters would have played it the same way. The game is Party Poker 5/10 6 max. UTG and the CO both seem like reasonable players. They both see too many flops, but show moderate aggression with good holdings.

UTG raises it up, there is a fold, then the CO makes it 3 bets. I have AKo on the button and come in for the cap. One of the blinds comes along and we take the flop 4 handed.

I don't remember the exact flop, but it was something like 9 4 2 and it was a rainbow. It checked to the CO who bet out. I raised, the blind folded, UTG called 2 cold, and the CO called.

The turn was an offsuit Q. They both checked to me and I took the free card. The river was a K and they both checked to me, I bet and they both paid me off.

My questions are the flop and turn play. Would anyone have played them differently?

I like the flop c/r.

I like taking the free card after UTG calls 2 cold and is known to be a reasonable player.

The river bet seems pretty standard, and I call the raise if it comes.

Yep, I play it the same way.
