Flop and turn is alright. I probably fold this turn. River is a fold.

I guess it's working for ya. I don't like doing it since I'll be betting with air majority of the time (if I choose to cont. bet), not to mention that my hand becomes very well defined so it's really tough to get paid off by worse hands when you do hit.

I've been playing 6max for a week. I have raised AKo in the blinds every time I've had it in an unraised pot. No good?

Totally standard.

As played I would fold the river.

But I wouldn't ever play like this unless I was against a very overaggressive player. I don't really mind your flop line, but I would probably check-raise this turn card given your decision to check-call the flop.

Do you usually raise AKo in the blinds? That gets expensive if done habitually, but fine if just mixing it up.

Then you should stop typing "I have AKo, guys" in the chat.

How does raising preflop then continuation betting any flop define your hand?

You guys are being too judgmental. Raising AK off in an unraised pot every time from the blinds can be expensive in a shorthanded game against the wrong opponents. I don't see any problem with mixing it up although I probably raise 2/3 of the time.

I raise AK from the blinds and it shows a nice profit.

I ALWAYS agreed with this in NL.

How could you rationalize not raising from the blinds with AK????
