Default AK - Played it like crap?

I'm pretty sure I played this hand really crappy....No real reads....

Party Poker 0.5/1 Hold'em (9 handed) converter

Preflop: Hero is SB with A[img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img], K[img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img].
<font color="#666666">1 fold</font>, UTG+1 calls, <font color="#666666">1 fold</font>, MP2 calls, <font color="#666666">2 folds</font>, Button calls, <font color="#CC3333">Hero raises</font>, <font color="#666666">1 fold</font>, UTG+1 calls, <font color="#CC3333">MP2 3-bets</font>, Button calls, Hero calls, UTG+1 calls.
Should I have capped?

Flop: (13 SB) 2[img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img], A[img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img], 6[img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img] <font color="#0000FF">(4 players)</font>
<font color="#CC3333">Hero bets</font>, UTG+1 folds, MP2 calls, Button folds.

Turn: (7.50 BB) 3[img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img] <font color="#0000FF">(2 players)</font>
<font color="#CC3333">Hero bets</font>, <font color="#CC3333">MP2 raises</font>, Hero calls.
Reraise again?

River: (11.50 BB) K[img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img] <font color="#0000FF">(2 players)</font>
Hero checks, MP2 checks.
I was worried I was behind here so I didn't think that K really helped me

Final Pot: 11.50 BB

Results in white below: <font color="#FFFFFF">
MP2 has Qc As (one pair, aces).
Hero has Ac Kd (two pair, aces and kings).
Outcome: Hero wins 11.50 BB. </font>

Yes, 3 bet the turn. MP2 3bet preflop, so hes probably not looking for the 3 to help his hand. The only hand you're behind that he could logically have is AA, and this is highly unlikely. Fire away at this.

I'm absolutely capping preflop. I would not have 3 bet the turn either, because I think there is more value in having the option of checkraising the river if your draw comes.

I looked at the results because of the way that MP2 played his hand. Against a player like him (not saying what type of player he is), the best play might be to stop and go on the river. Honestly though, I would have 3-bet the turn as this is the standard play in this situation. You have to think you have a hammer lock on this hand.

Edit - I didn't see his limp reraise. Don't stop and go, just keep raising on 4th street.

First of all, cap pf. AK is a premium holding.

MP2 3-bet preflop, so I don't think that you need to worry about 2 [img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img]s. I'm thinking at WORST you're up against AA, but I'm thinking more along the lines of AQ. 3 bet the turn and raise the river.

Edit: Please don't give results in your first post.

Thanks for all comments...But can someone please tell me the proper way to handle the results in a HH post. Some ppl tell me to include it in white like I've done here. And some ppl tell me to not. So Im asking again, should I wait for a couple of replies before I post the results or is it OK to include them in white in my first post?

Grunch-time.....

I probably play this the same way. The LRR, for me, lately has been automatic AA for Villian. So my weak-tight mind assumes I'm behind on the turn. But since I suck at calculating poker math, it is probably +EV to 3-bet the turn (with the NFD). I also would have gone to check-call the river, and kicked the dog when he checks behind and MHIG. Damn, I have a lot to learn.

I'd wait at least 10-12 hours, personally, but I'm certainly not an authority on this [img]/images/graemlins/wink.gif[/img]
