    Default Axx flop play AK situation.

    Had a situation preflop where I didn't reraise(mistake).

    PokerStars No-Limit Hold'em, $2 BB (9 handed) Hand History Converter Tool from FlopTurnRiver.com (Format: FlopTurnRiver)

    Hero ($199.65)
    Button ($32.15)
    SB ($268.90)
    BB ($132.90)
    UTG ($288.80)
    UTG+1 ($234.95)
    MP1 ($84)
    MP2 ($106.20)
    MP3 ($119.75)

    Preflop: Hero is CO with K, A.
    UTG calls $2, UTG+1 calls $2, 1 fold, MP2 raises to $8, MP3 calls $8, Hero calls $8, 3 folds, UTG calls $6, UTG+1 calls $6.

    Flop: ($43) 5, A, 2 (5 players)
    UTG checks, UTG+1 checks, MP2 bets $25, MP3 calls $25, Hero raises to $100, UTG folds, UTG+1 folds, MP2 folds, MP3 raises to $111.75, Hero calls $11.75.

    Turn: ($291.50) 2 (2 players)

    River: ($291.50) Q (2 players)

    Final Pot: $291.50


    My plan here was to push the flop raiser and caller AI, and fold to the 2 UTG pfr limp callers if they reraised. I knew if anyone called I was beat.

    Was this a poor play?

    Looks quite ok to me, the flop isn't sceary, MP2 probably has a weaker ace and you can't know if MP3 is slowplaying a monster or has a weak ace too untill he pushes and then you can't fold with all that money invested. And you can't just call flop either with all these players in the hand. As played I don't think you can get away.

    I reraise preflop. After that preflop action, if we just call we let UTG and UTG+1 in cheap for a chance at some great implied odds. With a raise hopefully we get heads up and in position.
    Some days it feels like I've been standing forever, waiting for the bank teller to return so I can cash in all these Sklansky Bucks.
