Sneaky Blind Play

[complex_x]

Any thoughts on how I played this? I think it was pretty well played imho, but I may be wrong.

PokerStars No-Limit Hold'em Tourney, Big Blind is t100 (9 handed) FTR converter on zerodivide.cx

Button (t8400)
Hero (t2235)
BB (t1640)
UTG (t1960)
UTG+1 (t6955)
MP1 (t1875)
MP2 (t4300)
MP3 (t2085)
CO (t1600)

Preflop: Hero is SB with K, A.
7 folds, Hero raises to t200, BB calls t100.

Flop: (t400) 3, A, J (2 players)
Hero bets t200, BB raises to t400, Hero calls t200.

Turn: (t1200) K (2 players)
Hero bets t200, BB calls t200.

River: (t1600) J (2 players)
Hero bets t300, BB raises to t840(All In), Hero calls t540.

Final Pot: t3280

Raise more preflop. (at least 2.5xBB)
RE-raise on the flop.
Bet more on the turn. (200 is nothing into a pot of that size)
Put him all in before the river.

Edit: Basically you made it so cheep for him to stay in there that he could have almost anything.

PS: I do understand why you played it this way, it's just that IMO slowplaying is the least profitable play without a KILLER hand... aka, sure slowplay thoes quads... but not the pocket aces.

Check raise the turn!!

Check raise the turn!!

Any queen or ten has a straight draw. I'm not going to let them see the next card for free.

Hitting two pair with AK is actually fairly scary when any other card on the board is higher than a 9...

Yea but checking looks so weak after the flop action that the majority of the time the BB will take a stab at it.

Pushing the turn is another good play. The 200 bet is awful.

The only street I like is the flop, that's good, you're giving him the chance to bluff with worse hands. The turn bet is horrible. Not only do you let the cat out of the bag that you have a big hand, you give him great odds to draw to a hand that will let him double through you.

Your betting pre-flop, flop, and turn is weak. Yes you want to extract chips but not at the expense of him drawing out on you. Price it high for him to draw out. I would probably get my chips in on the turn. Tell me he had AJ.
