I'm going broke here everytime right? AKs 100NL

I just sat down maybe 2-3 hands ago, I had 5 hands on villain as I played this, 60/20 stats or something like that. UTG was same thing, similar stats and 5 hands on him, no clue who either are. I put MP squarely on a set of deuces, there was nothing else I could see, which is also what he had. But I kept thinking "I can't fold top2 with AK, so just get the money in there already you [censored] wimp". And so, AKs is still a losing hand for me after 32k hands on party.

Party Poker No-Limit Hold'em, $ BB (6 max, 6 handed) FTR converter on zerodivide.cx

MP ($87.35)
Hero ($100.85)
Button ($103.60)
SB ($91.85)
BB ($47)
UTG ($84.60)

Preflop: Hero is CO with A[img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img], K[img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img]. SB posts a blind of $0.50.
UTG calls $1, MP calls $1, Hero raises to $6, 3 folds, UTG calls $5, MP calls $5.

Flop: ($19.50) 2[img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img], K[img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img], A[img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img] (3 players)
UTG checks, MP checks, Hero bets $18, UTG calls $18, MP calls $18.

Turn: ($73.50) 6[img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img] (3 players)
UTG checks, MP bets $20, Hero calls $76.85 (All-In), UTG folds, MP calls $43.35 (All-In).

River: ($213.70) 3[img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img] (2 players, 2 all-in)

Final Pot: $213.70

Betting less on the flop so I could get away seems impossible considering draws, calling turn seems to suck ass, and folding is just all out weak. But I just see no other hands than 22 that would call my allin on turn, maybe K2, A2, but it seems farfetched to me against an unknown. No other way to play this right?

Well, if he has a set of 2's then he has my money.

That's what I've been thinking too, but I lost several of these now, and really, what's the difference between AK on A72 flop and AK on AK2 flop? Especially when the pot gets this big on the turn

Ugainst an unknown, I'm going broke with you. No other way to play this, IMO.

You did nothing wrong in this hand.

AK2 is preferable because a set of 7's is not possible on the AK2 board.

Yeah, I suppose. Oh well, just another hand where Hero's destined to go broke I guess.

You bet too much on every street IMO. I personally dont like to bloat the pot unless i got the nuts or close to it. Preflop, raise a bit less. On the flop, if you bet half the pot, you are charging any draw plenty. Other than that, its really hard to get away from this with no reads. Play AK like the drawing hand that it is, and it shouldnt be a big loser.

I think we all go broke here. NH.
