This is probably the worst I've played a hand in weeks.

PokerStars No-Limit Hold'em, $0.25 BB (8 handed) FTR converter on zerodivide.cx

MP2 ($25)
CO ($12.05)
Button ($50.50)
SB ($40.60)
BB ($13.45)
Hero ($16.95)
UTG+1 ($24)
MP1 ($9.75)

Preflop: Hero is UTG with A, K.
Hero raises to $0.95, 3 folds, CO calls $0.95, 2 folds, BB calls $0.70.

Flop: ($2.95) Q, 5, J (3 players)
BB bets $0.25, Hero calls $0.25, CO raises to $0.5, BB calls $0.25, Hero calls $0.25.

Do you always c-bet on a flop like this? After a minbet? My thinking was that the Q or J probably hit one of these two guys and I have 2 overcards and a gutshot str8 draw so I should try to see cheap cards. What does CO's minraise indicate? I still have excellent odds to call and shouldnt reraise CO's raise, yes?

Turn: ($4.45) A (3 players)
BB bets $0.25, Hero calls $0.25, CO raises to $3, BB folds, Hero calls $2.75.

OK, I hit my ace and again BB minbets. I am confident I am ahead of BB now but CO was the one who showed the last aggression. Should I raise here? If so, how much? How bad is it to check to the CO to see what he does? Do you fold here to his raise? Do you reraise him here?

River: ($10.70) A (2 players)
Hero checks, CO bets $5, Hero raises to $10, CO calls $2.60 (All-In).

Can you find a fold here?

Final Pot: $28.30

Results in white below:
Hero has As Ks (three of a kind, aces).
CO has 5d 5c (full house, fives full of aces).


I hate c-betting into a multiway pot with AK on a QJx board. Is this a leak? How bad is it to give up initiative now that your hand is a drawing hand in a multiway pot? All you have is A high but you have 2 overcards, backdoor flush draw, and nut straight draw.

Gah, plz help.
