    Default I suck at AK Part1

    I f'ed this one up. I should have raised. But shoudl it have been on the
    flop or the turn? And how much?

    Ultimate Bet No-Limit Hold'em, $.25 BB (10 handed) Hand History Converter Tool from FlopTurnRiver.com (Format: FlopTurnRiver)

    UTG+2 ($7)
    MP1 ($23.25)
    MP2 ($36.60)
    Hero ($24.85)
    CO ($34.45)
    Button ($19.45)
    SB ($13.20)
    BB ($9.85)
    UTG ($56.90)
    UTG+1 ($23.70)

    Preflop: Hero is MP3 with A, K.
    3 folds, MP1 raises to $0.85, 1 fold, Hero calls $0.85, 3 folds, BB calls $0.60.

    Flop: ($2.65) K, 4, 2 (3 players)
    BB checks, MP1 bets $1, Hero calls $1, BB folds.

    Turn: ($4.65) T (2 players)
    MP1 bets $2.25, Hero calls $2.25.

    River: ($9.15) 7 (2 players)

    Final Pot: $27.45

    Hero has Ac Kh (one pair, kings).
    Outcome: MP1 wins $27.45.

    Yeah what they said, and actually the way you played it I may fold the river also, he seems to come alive there strangely.

    EDIT: Yep I'm right.

    Me? I woulda reraised it preflop because I have AK and I have position. Moreso the fact that I have position. Let's make it $1.50-$1.75, somewhere about there.

    If I don't raise there, I'm definitely raising the turn. What am I afraid of here? and if I don't raise on the turn, exactly what do I plan on doing on the river? Raise to $5 - $5.75

    Third best option raise on the flop. However, this might chase away hands that I'm beating and since I didn't raise preflop, I'll let him keep thinking that his hand is good until the turn. Raise to $2.50

    Fourth best option: no raising - kinda what ahppened here.

    Anyway, man, those are my choices and reasoning. Good luck and ask i fyou have any questions. If I don't respond, you can always PM me as well.

    Thanks for the detailed response with the reasonings, Ensign, exactly what I was looking for.

    I have been starting to reraise AK more often, will def do in future. I'll lean towards turn raise over flop raise depending on the villian.

    I got done with that hand and I'm like "Darn it, I just played the roll of a calling station, ack".

    Now watch yourself Ensign, you know they are always the first to get picked off!
