Default NL 50: AK hits TPTK

Still getting back into the flow of things and working some kinks out. I've added my comentary in. Any and all thoughts are welcome. I'm rusty.

Hero running at 16/9/3
Villian is 22/8/3 over a ~80 hand sample.

PokerStars No-Limit Hold'em, $0.50 BB (9 handed) Poker Stars Converter Tool from FlopTurnRiver.com (Format: 2+2 Forums)

Button ($63.15)
SB ($53)
BB ($31.15)
Hero ($65.50)
UTG+1 ($41.50)
MP1 ($63.95)
MP2 ($44.85)
MP3 ($21.75)
CO ($6.75)

Preflop: Hero is UTG with K[img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img], A[img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img].
<font color="#CC3333">Hero raises to $2</font>, <font color="#666666">5 folds</font>, Button calls $2, <font color="#666666">2 folds</font>.

<font color="blue"> Standard procedure </font>

Flop: ($4.75) 9[img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img], 2[img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img], A[img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img] <font color="#0000FF">(2 players)</font>
<font color="#CC3333">Hero bets $3.5</font>, Button calls $3.50.

<font color="blue"> C-bet as usual </font>

Turn: ($11.75) 4[img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img] <font color="#0000FF">(2 players)</font>
Hero checks, <font color="#CC3333">Button bets $10</font>, Hero calls $10.

<font color="blue"> The flop call concerned me because this is basically a dry board, so villians range isn't real wide here. Who bet folds here? I checked because sometimes this type of player will float and take me off a hand, so I get value from bluffs by check-calling. Also AQ might fire here as well. If it gets checked through, no biggie--I've only got a pair. </font>

River: ($31.75) 7[img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img] <font color="#0000FF">(2 players)</font>
<font color="#CC3333">Hero bets $18</font>, <font color="#CC3333">Button raises to $47.65</font>, Hero folds.

<font color="blue"> River is me trying to max value from an AQ and set my price for showdown. Once I'm raised, it's an easy fold. </font>

Final Pot: $67.75
