    CO: $247.52
    Hero: $245.53

    UTG bets $11, Hero calls.

    Downswinging holla!
    Raise bigger on the turn, and push over his reraise. You weren't going to get away from this so don't bother beating yourself up over it. If it was me though all the money would've went in on the turn (possibly the flop too).

    I like a flop raise too. If he has the K, you know he's coming along anyway. I don't know as I would do that in the heat of the battle, but I believe that is the correct play. It also helps you get in all in on the turn.
    By the river it is a crying call. You can't lay this down getting 3:1. AK, KQ, KJ, & 2 spades are all possible.
    I guess I'm praying for AK or 2 spades here.(grabs ankles, grits teeth)
    Playing live . . . thanks alot Bin Laden.

    Your place or my place
    I definitely raise the flop. NLT&P makes a point of always assuming villain has a stack-worthy hand when you flop hard. Make him felt his AK, and dont let JJ turn you cheaply -- which I'd wager he did.
    <Staxalax> Honestly, #flopturnriver is the one thing that has improved my game the most.
