    Default AK no goot on flushy board?

    PokerStars No-Limit Hold'em, $0.25 BB (9 handed) Hand History Converter Tool from FlopTurnRiver.com (Format: FlopTurnRiver)

    UTG+1 ($23.05)
    MP1 ($33.55)
    MP2 ($52.95)
    MP3 ($14.25)
    CO ($21.25)
    givememyleg ($37.90)
    SB ($9.75)

    BB ($3.40)
    UTG ($28.05)

    Preflop: givememyleg is Button with A, K.
    1 fold, UTG+1 calls $0.25, 2 folds, MP3 calls $0.25, 1 fold, givememyleg raises to $1.25, SB calls $1.15, 1 fold, UTG+1 calls $1, MP3 folds.

    Flop: ($4.25) A, 5, K (3 players)
    SB checks, UTG+1 checks, givememyleg bets $4, SB folds, UTG+1 raises to $21.8, givememyleg ......

    Villian is Tight/Passive.... something like 12/1 over 100. Is this a flopped flush/55 most of the time against a passive? His AF is somewhere near 2.3.....

    AK/55/AA/KK maybe a flush. I don't see him playing enough hands with an unsuited Q or J to semi-bluff here.

    Easy fold.

    On a board like this with two pair my standard line is to lead for the pot and fold to a big raise [unless its from an absolute maniac]. From a passive player you are going to be beat here more often than not, fold.

    This is one of those strange hands where our hand looks g00t, but is really dogshit against his range.

    Ya after re-evaluating this hand I realized I made a nubular call... I guess I was hoping for AQd... instead I lost to his turned quad 5s.
