				  AKo .. one of my biggest losing hands
			
			
					
					
			
				
					
						Please feel free to tear these HHs apart...  My last 25k hands, AKo is rated my 9th worst all-time hand.  It seems I either win a small pot or lose a mid size/big pot with it.  I'm going to post 6 or so of my tough AK hands and tell me what I could have done better.

SB Just sat down at the table, this was his second hand... so no reads.  Is the river worth a call?  Raise pf, C/r flop, c turn, 1/2 pot lead on river seemed like a big hand to me... if I put him on AK (which I did here) is it worth calling if I think I will split?

I went into check/call mode and it was very weak of me...  I don't even really remember this hand to be honest, but PT has villian listed as 20/9...  Should I make my mind up on the turn?  River worth a call?

Wow I absolutely hate how I play this hand.  SB is 45/8 over 70 or so hands, don't remember too much of his play.  Super weak-tastic of me here?

lol.... I don't remember this hand at all, after looking at it I want everyone here to feel free to refer to me as a donk.  This hand is just hideous, I didn't re-raise pf, which I think is fine, but why the hell did I bet 3/4 on the flop?  When faced on the turn I guess I thought 12-1 to get an A or K was worth it (who knows if it would have been good)....

Villian is 23/10 over 150 or so hands, so pretty solid... but since he won a big pot his pf raise over the last 15 or so hands has been about 90%.  When my cbet failed on the flop I pretty much gave up, goot or bad?  Should I have bet more on the flop?

I was on the button with AK and didn't reraise a min raise pf...  Other than that does everything else look fine?  Mp2 was a shortstack donk.. hooray for shorties....
