How to Play This AK Hand when A flops ????

Results in white below:

I feel like I played this essentially correctly. When I got raised on the flop I thought MP3 had maybe a set or 2-pair like A's and 9's.

Then when he didn't raise the turn or reraise the flop I thought he had a flush draw. So when Qh came on river I bet.

Sorry to wine, but, I keep losing big pots and am getting drawn out on. (boo hoo)

With BB padding the pot does anyone think a 3-bet on the river is in order?

I see no problem with the rest. And don't post results. In fact you might want to edit them out.

standard IMO
MP3 had alot of outs and caught. tough beat

also FWIW, dont include results in original posts. you'll get more/better responses to hand

An unfortunate result, but even knowing that, I'd probably 3-bet this river. You're going to run into a weaker two pair FAR more often than JTs. Having a third person still in the hand complicates things but I think you're still swimming in equity here. 3-bet.
