Stars 1/2 - AK on QQ7 board
 

Just wondering if my line on this hand was correct.

Flop better is 29%/15%/1.6 AF, limp/caller is 16%/4%/1.11 AF.
The guy who limp/called 2 on the flop plays very passively.

Anyway my read is it's very unlikely the flop bettor has the queen, because most people would check that. Even if he has the 7 or a PP i have 6 outs, plus BD flush and straight outs, so i think i have to raise right?

The cold call worries me, especially because the flush just hit, but fortunately i have the k[img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img]. This is very easily a check behind right? Of course, because it's me, i miss the river as always [img]/images/graemlins/smile.gif[/img] I definately just check behind here and prepare to muck because 27 donk instacalls here right?

I would play it like you do.You'll be spewing if you bet the turn. Just take the free card and hope you improve

Grunch:

I don't think I would have raised the flop.. the rest looks fine.

I'd call the flop and fold the turn unimproved.

Maybe this is still a leak, but i thought from everything i read in SSHE etc that if i'm playing on this flop i need to raise.

If i call, the sb can get in for 1 more bet, and most donks at this lvl will call that with tons of crap (he actually called 2 cold with crap not to give away the hand) but theoretically it should at least get it heads up. It also will probably freeze out the BB from betting again, unless he has the Q, so i can check behind and then probably fold the river to a bet.

If i just call here, Isn't BB likely to bet again with any pair? Since my read is he doesn't have the queen, the raise will almost definately at least get me a free card, which it did.

So i'm wondering, is a raise really bad here?

I think you're result oriented. He might just donk again again on the turn cuz he's a donk. Just call it. And just call with the other hand as well that you posted.
