Default AKo 10/20 game. Trying to be frugal with bets?

Sorry if this is a routine hand, but I was wondering if I butchered this.

UTG, UTG+1 and a MP limper infront and I raise in LP with Ad/Kh. Folded to UTG who now raises, UTG+1 caps [img]/images/graemlins/confused.gif[/img], MP folds and I call.

Flop comes 2h/7h/10s. It's checked to me and I check behind. Good move? Bad move? I'm thinking that I'm behind to at least a pair here most of the time and don't want to get check raised here without a hand.

Turn comes Ah which I'm not sure if I'm happy to see. UTG checks, UTG+1 bets, I raise, UTG check raises, UTG+1 caps and I call thinking worst case I'm against a set of aces and a flush and I'm drawing to 6 heart outs for the nuts.

River blanks. UTG bets, UTG+1 calls, I...?

Based on the action I can't possibly see how I'm good here, but the pot is large and my hand has showdown value. Should I be finding a fold in these situations?

This hand and action are so strange that I call for one bet on the river.

You must be calling for half the pot at best. Getting about 10:1 for this call, I think it's pretty close. I think you will be shown AA from UTG and a flush from UTG+1 most of the time. Since you have the Ah, UTG+1 fears that UTG has it.

I don't see 1 pair winning this pot, but it is huge, and I wouldn't think badly of you if you called.

Good luck.
Eric

since you didn't bet the flop you don't know if UTG was checking weak or checkraising. Therefore, when he does check-raise the Ace you don't know if he's simply got AJ or in fact has a set of Tens. I can't believe I'm ahead here, but if I can close the action for 1 bet I may be ahead of AQ and AJ, or tieing another AK. Mostly I would expect to be dead to twopair or a set or a flush tho.

I wouldn't be "happy" either. I would be [censored] ecstatic.

I'm wondering if this is a fold preflop. UTG+1 is obviously full of [censored], but if UTG is solid you're probably drawing to two of the remaining 3 kings in the deck.

Yeah that's one of the things I'm wondering. I called 2 more because of my position and was going to re-evaluate after the flop. The problem with the limp re-raise UTG is that I've seen it done with anything from k/10o to 6s in these 10/20 games. Although for this opponent A/A is still very possible I'm never believing they have it 100% unless I have notes stating they always limp re-raise A/A UTG. I'm almost thinking this should be a fold preflop against an unknown.

I think you should've folded the turn when it came two bets back to you. On the river, you ought to just kiss your chips and throw them in.

How can I fold that when I have 6 outs to the absolute nuts? I'm getting over 8:1 on my call and I'm under 7:1 to hit.
