Stars 5.50$ AK on low flop, what to do here?
 

Hey!

My question here is, what do i do in this position? Villain is prety aggressive, more tight agressive, then loose agressive.

Tnx!

You have A high. You can just beat a total bluff. I don't think this flop hit villain, but villain also thinks that this flop did not hit you at all.
No need to get fancy and try to c/r representing an overpair.

Yep, that read is the reason why i checked the flop, by that time i only knew he was agressive, so i went in careful, is this good reasoning or am i wrong?

Bet 200-250 next time

Fold this though now.

It's not an error to fold AK here. You could have done a c-bet putting the pressure on him. Something like 2/3-3/4 the pot.
You still have 40bb left and it did not cripple you, so just move on to the next hand [img]/images/graemlins/smile.gif[/img] If you don't hit, its just A high - nothing to put all your chips at risk for. With no real hand and oop this is an uncomfortable situation for you.

This is a terrible flop for AK and checkfolding can't be very far wrong. If you cbet, many players will just not believe you and raise you. Still, you could make a small bet and hope for the best.

I cbet this flop 100% of the time.
