Not sure if there was any way out of this one. I had alarm bells going off preflop, but I put my opponent on AK. Such is life I suppose. Comments and criticisms are appreciated.

If you put him on AK why on earth were you cold calling his bets and letting him draw out on you so cheaply? You need to raise. As it is, you're just calling away chips to AA/KK or giving AK a chance to beat you.

If you raise and he pushes, its an easy fold.

you cant put him on AK preflop just by his reraise. more likely i put him on AA or KK, with AK a smaller option for weaker players. plus, you think hes betting out with AK the whole time? you can fold on the flop. the second best option is raising is to see where your at, and the worst option is to just call
