Are you the SB with AK? Showing your cards and indicating yourself as "Hero" is good.

Assuming that's the case, 3bet preflop, cap the flop, and go from there.

Your hand got munched by the converter dude, check it before you post it.

That said, you should be 3-betting AKo in SB, particularly with only one opponent in. Flop is okay, I'm capping it sometimes, and always capping if BB is hanging around. Turn is fine. What were you thinking checking the river??!! River bet was a must for value.

3bet PF, lead/3bet flop.

Also: The way played it: bet the river.

I didn't 3-bet pre-flop cause I don't know how to play OOP against too much agressive players when I don't hit the flop and having the initiative. They take the same line with ATo unimproved that they do with QQ.

I'm still trying to find the answer.

If they take the same line w/ AT as w/ QQ, then you get to take their money. 3bet and take more.

Raise pf. Bet/cap the flop! Bet the river!

You have one of the best starting hands in Hold'em, 3bet for value.
