AK with no flop

[wuarhg]

A[img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img] K[img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img] in MP.

Pre-flop: EP1 calls, EP2 calls, MP1 folds, I raise, MP3 calls, LP calls, SB folds, BB calls, EP1&2 call.

Flop (10.5SB) 3[img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img] 7[img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img] 6[img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img]
BB checks, EP1 bets, EP2 folds, I call, MP3 calls, BB folds.

Turn (6.7BB) 4[img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img]
EP bets, I call, MP3 folds. Did I make a big mistake here?

River (8.7BB) 6[img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img]
EP bets, I call.

As I wrote down this hand it became clear that I misplayed this really bad... [img]/images/graemlins/frown.gif[/img]

You must fold the flop when EP bets into 5 other players.
Furthermore if anyone bets I dump the hand with 5 others 2 being cold callers

[DMBFan23]

you wouldnt make that bet with 2 spades, T7, or 45?

[ThunderAces]

yes i would make those bets, what I wouldn't do is call that flop with AK

[Dav123]

If you think there is a great chance of the bettor having a draw, you should raise, not call. Note that the chance of the bettor having a draw have to be fairly high due the combined probabilities that the draw could get there (not hard to draw out on Ace High) or you could be beat behind.

I'd probably fold or raise, depending on how I see the players. Weak, Id raise, strong, id say fold.

I usually raise in this spot to narrow the field and try to get a free card on the turn. It usually works pretty well.

Raise the flop. See if you can grab a free card, check fold unimproved. If he bets into you again on the turn after you raise or reraises, muck.
