limping AK hand

[BloodyRomance]

I like the preflop call opposed to pushing considering you have two other players to shake off and raiser is a tight, straight forward player. Good bet on the flop, curious why he didn't raise so I figure 88-AA or it's gonna be chopped? However, he probably would've raised with his AK or 77 [maybe]. Good push on turn if he does have AK cause you might be able to shake him off of it, although he may have the A [img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img]. You also have to ask yourself if he's the type of player to call with a flush draw with a pair on the board, since you're out of position. However, you are able to act first on the scare card. Nicely played in my opinion, but you're beating more hands than not so hopefully he'll pay you off. Sorry but I'm not sure if this was a helpful reponse, but I thought I would give it a shot and see if people think my newbie reasoning is somewhat on the right track.
