Default AK: Anyone Fold Here With Top Two Pair?

When I dream happy dreams about poker, I dream about flops like this. In this hand, I hit something close to my dream flop with AK, and villain went and pushed. Pretty straight forward question here: Does anybody fold here? Not much of a read on villain, who is sort of a garden variety fish. Loose, passive, prone to overplaying her hand.

Party Poker No-Limit Hold'em, $50, $0.50 BB (10 handed) converter

UTG ($69.55)
UTG+1 ($119.07)
Hero ($90.53)
MP1 ($135.90)
MP2 ($67.35)
MP3 ($174.63)
CO ($44.95)
Button ($51.80)
SB ($29.65)
BB ($20.50)

Preflop: Hero is UTG+2 with A[img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img], K[img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img]. SB posts a blind of $0.25.
<font color="#CC3333">UTG raises to $3</font>, <font color="#666666">1 fold</font>, Hero calls $3, <font color="#666666">2 folds</font>, MP3 calls $3, <font color="#666666">4 folds</font>.

Flop: ($9.75) K[img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img], 2[img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img], A[img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img] <font color="#0000FF">(3 players)</font> UTG bets $66.55 (All In)

I think you gotta call here man. Given your holding and the board, the chances of her having AA or KK are pretty small. If she has 22, oh well, at least you have a 4 out redraw [img]/images/graemlins/smile.gif[/img]

i dont think i lay that down. it would take an amazing read to let that one go. i mean sure he did raise utg which represents a hand as big as KK or AA, but unless uve seen him show some hands utg before or have a good idea of his style its tough to get away from. 22 is doubtfull, especially sinced he raised. if i have 22 there i either lay it down or limp.

he could play AQ [img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img] the same way...so thats what id put him on here.

ultimately i call here

MP3 went all-in, not UTG, which further discounts AA/KK, but could possibly mean 22. I don't know if I can get away from this, because that's a really weird way to play a set.

Villain either has A-K or A-Q, let's hope for your sake. Villain seems like the, "oh boy, I flopped a set and I'm gonna play it real slow" type, so I would be surprised to see a set. Hell they might even have something silly like Q-Q or A-10. Crazier things have happened. I call here.

Me or the converter screwed up; it was UTG that pushed. Sorry. But your analysis doesn't change much, if at all, I think. Good post, thanks.

Default RESULTS: AK: Anyone Fold Here With Top Two Pair?

Thanks, all. Just making sure. I called, turn came x [img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img], river came A [img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img] filling my boat and giving UTG a set of aces.

She pushed with A [img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img]Q [img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img] and I stacked her, just the way it happens in my dreams. [img]/images/graemlins/smile.gif[/img]
