$2-4 Full Ring-What's your move OOP w/ top two?

[98romaine]

This is my 2nd BB at the table. I've played 5 out the first 20 hands or so, raising PF 4/5, and taking down 2 with strong bets on flop. This hand 4 limpers and I raise with AK out of BB, one caller who I have no read on. I'm thinking he feels I'm out of line and was hoping to steal limpers pre flop bets. I am putting him on a medium Ace or decent PP.

What is your flop decision OOP with top two?

Bet whatever percentage those strong bets were. If he raises I probably call and c/r the turn all-in.

I bet 1/2 to 2/3 pot, we dont want to blow him out of the water. Pot bet on the river. If he re-raises it looks like you are going to have to pay off a set. Hopefully AQ, AJ, hope it worked out

Bet 1/2 pot on turn. He smoothcalls.

Turn 3 [img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img] pot $128 He has $203 left.

3/4 the pot or put him all in?

I put him all in and paid off his set of 4's.
