Did I play AK too weak?

[vieira10]

This hand is from a 9+1 sattellite on party. The opponent in MP3 has value bet all of his good hands up to this point,as far as I could tell. I had no read on the small stack.

Looking back, I should have made a continuation bet, but I still wanted to hear some opinions.

This is my first time using the hand converter, so Im sorry if it doesnt come out right.

[captainzodiac]

a whole lotta times i wish i played it the way you did,i'm way more likely to raise more,and push any flop,or just push it in preflop,and hope to take down the pot there or get a race. usually building a stack i'm alot more aggresive with ak,and would take a race,if i had a better stack i'd play it closer to your line.

[betgo]

If I raise with AK, get 2 callers, and the flop comes 987, I generally check/fold too.

[wyrd]

With 4 callers maybe raise a tad more, like 250 preflop. But that's nit picking. You basically played it perfectly. If you made a continuation bet you would have had half your stack in the pot. That's not a good thing when you have nothing but overcards.

[2005]

Nah, seems pretty basic here. Extremely bad flop for you.

[Rocco]

A normal raise (of course I vary my bets) for me here is 3xBB + 1BB for each limper. That amounts to 350, so 300-400 would be a good bet. All-in is also thinkable, since you'll be called by hands that you either dominate or coinflipping against (AA and KK are unlikely). I'm also happy to pick up the 275 already in the pot so I'd probably go for the push. And since you, after the raise, don't have enough money to make a cont. bet without committing yourself to the pot, we have another good reason to push it.
