$2/$5NL AKs - Weak fold or prudent?

[swolfe]

I'm in the CO with AKs. I have around $1,100. I've been playing tight, raising preflop occassionally and taking it down with continuation bets. The only two hands I've shown down in two hours are AA and an A6 two pair from the BB.

Two limpers to me, I make it $30 straight, BB (covers me) calls, both limpers call (1=$450 and 2 covers me).

Flop ($120, 4-handed) - AJ8 with A and 8 of the same suit. I have none of the suits.

BB leads for $100, limper 1 calls, limper 2 folds, I fold.

BB is a decent player, slightly LAG. He has minraised a few of times, including a couple of check-minraises. I've not seen him show down less than two pair.

Limper 1 is loose-passive. He'll play any two suited and chase flush draws. In my two pair hand he had a SF draw and played it passively with check-calls.

what's your play? call? put half your stack in on a raise?

Weak. You're probably too scared of AJ and A8 in BB. What do you want when you raise with AK? Only a flop with AK?

Call. See what happens on the turn (watching opponents for completed flush or straight) and act accordingly.

Agreed. Raise here "see where your at"

I call

Turn ($420, 3-handed) - offsuit 4

BB leads for $350, limper 1 calls (all-in), now what?

no offense, but this is the dumbest reason for raising ever.

In OP you say you fold flop?

Bet sizes hint at a strong hand here, plus your read suggests he's not bluffing, I would call flop, fold turn.

The weak prudent guy beats me on this one.

P.S. that's only because the limper is already all in, otherwise I might push.
