    Default a few MTT hands for review...AK played OK?

    first off, a couple of AK hands, did I play these ok? the second was after stealing a few blinds , I had a feeling someone would call out of frustration with something inferior. AK scares the shit out of me still and I am often too tentative / passive with it, just because I am afraid of getting burned. In the first hand, I was starting to get short stacked and hadnt seen much in the way of cards in a while ( a few limp ins in the previous 20 or so hands but thats about it) the second , I had stolen a few blinds, and had a feeling someone with inferior cards would call..I finished well into the money , but short of making the final table due to KK getting beat by AK - still was fairly happy with my playing, took some risks when I was getting down in chips a few times, a pot stealing move that worked out (J3 vs KQ) , etc... any input would be appreciated!

    first AK hand - I'm hoping you were looking for the re raise for a chance to double, other wise you should certainly raise here.

    On the J3 hand, this is a bad play unless you are ready to gamble with best case two live cards. With the money in the pot you're getting called by almost anything. And you're dominated by any pair except ducks.

    FLOP [board cards 3S,4D,3H ]
    jdubster bets $9,530 and is all-in, KEITH0317 calls $9,530.

    What was this guy thinking? LOL, maybe I call here with ace high and two overs, K high terrible play. Nice read by you, although this is kinda a scary flop in that a hand like 77 is limpable but would call here. But especially with your small stack I like the play.
