$0.05 BB NL: TPTK on the flop, 3b3-AI

[Harry Fong]

PokerStars No-Limit Hold'em, $0.05 BB (5 handed) internettexasholdem.com

UTG ($8.11)
MP ($9.54)
Button ($10.82)
SB (villian)/ ($3.59)
Hero ($19.71)

Preflop: Hero is BB with A[img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img], K[img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img].
<font color="#666666">3 folds</font>, SB (villian)/ completes, Hero checks.

Flop: ($0.10) 6[img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img], Q[img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img], K[img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img] <font color="#0000FF">(2 players)</font>
<font color="#CC3333">villian bets $0.1</font>, <font color="#CC3333">Hero raises to $0.3</font>, <font color="#CC3333">villian raises to $1</font>,

villian has lost a fair amount so i figure he is on tilt

<font color="#CC3333">Hero raises to $5</font>,

In hind sight I only have TPTK not a very strong hand at all. Any suggestions on an alternative safer way to approach this?

Ok... first of all... RAISE PREFLOP!!

Dude, AK is a PREMIUM hand in this spot. I raise 54o here.

Also out of curiosity, what is your screen name?

Raise preflop HU vs SB. This makes it easier to play.

This also makes his range somewhat more defined. Also the problem with this kind of flop is KQ is normally patsy hand to Ak on Kxx flops so I tread a litle more carefully on these.

I've never played NL5 and don't know much about villan except u think he's on tilt. I would prob just call the flop PSB and use positon on the turn to decide whether to call/fold if he bets -I'll prob check behind if checked too.

This isn't the kind of action and board to be getting AI with Ak IMHO.
