NL50 6Max - Good spot for AK push?

[redCashion]

No read on villain, stats were 40/10/3ish. Obviously a set is a concern here, as is AJ. What am I beating, just AQ and draws?

I've learned to get away from hands like this when I get c/red.. but the lead-out bet is harder for me to suss out since so many total donks do it.

Push or fold this?

Could be any Ace here. Axs of hearts could very well be possible. I'd call his minraise and re-evaluate the turn.

[redCashion]

Bah, I'm either foldin' or pushin'.

Why such a small flop raise? I think a larger flop bet would let you have a better idea whether to continue. The pot is $15, you raised it $6.50, I think I raise closer to 11-12, so raise to ~15. Then if he comes back over the top I start to worry about TPTK. Granted your small raise may make him think you were making a play with two hearts.

Raise more on flop and fold if he comes over the top. I'd fold after that minraise of his. More than not this is the nuts, as in set here (or sometimes AJ).

i would raise the flop to $15 the first time around. i'd also def push here.
