Read the FAQ...this belongs in BBV.

I wouldn't post it there though because it's not a bad beat.

Looks pretty good to me. Just a bit of a cooler! When he raises you all-in theres really no way you can fold.

I didn't post in BBV because it is intended to be critiqued so I can find out if I made a mistake.

In that case don't post results or tell people "AK vs AK", this isnt relavant because you didn't know what he had when you were playing the hand so you shouldnt give out that knowledge when looking for advice on how you should have played it.

I'm not trying to flame you or anything, but you still need to read the FAQ to determine what "is a hand." It will refer you back to a section of HOH where a newbie asks a Pro what he should have done in a particular situation and the pro grills him asking him stack size, reads, prior history, etc. It will help everyone here critique the play.

That said, there are hands where you are destined to lose money. This appears to be one of them. You're not nearly deep enough to get away from a straight and you turn bet pot commits you. You played the hand fine...good luck in the future.

what's your strat question?
