    I like.

    I almost never limp AK in the early stages, but its something I've been pondering.

    What are some of the advantages of limping AK?

    pots stay small
    things are concealed.

    So in this hand, what if fluffer333 had raised you to 100 to 120 on the flop?

    Call and re-reevaluate the turn?

    I almost never limp AK when I have position in the early stages. OOP, I often will limp because as VQC said, it keeps things under control. If you raise to 5xBB and get called by two people, then you're going to have to put in a 10-12xBB c-bet into the dark, maybe more if you hit and the board is scary.

    In this case, I gabe. It looks like he's on a flush draw and his turn bet wanted to convince you... he's got... 77? Maybe trying for a cheaper showdown w/ a J?

    Looks good though.

    I agree with Gabe - raise the turn to 150. You're giving anyone on a flush draw incredible odds to draw for it. Make them pay for the river card.

    I think you should raise the turn.

    I also prefer a preflop raise, I dont want the blinds to see the flop for free

    Raise turn.

    Lead bigger than 100 on river.

    Nice donk bet by villain on turn. I think you raise here, rather than call in the dark. I actually don't like that river card - a 4 is totally consistant with villian's betting as is KT.

    I think limping AK at this table was, in retrospect, wrong, since only the blinds called your EP limp.
