Was I always going to get stacked here? AK v AQ

[igetjokes]

How can I avoid getting stacked here? Is there anything I could have done differently? Or was this an easy fold?

I still can't find a hh converter that works for UB.

I have villain at 14/26 over 50 hands, he's good but not great.

Turn c/r i'm obviously worried, but with only ~22 left, I thought I'd have to call. Is this wrong?

I would usually re-raisie preflop, but I've been running so bad I wanted to make a hand first - I don't think it would have saved me here, I don't imagine villain will 4bet with AK oop.

Is a reraise standard preflop?

You had about $24 left and there was $78 in the pot. I don't see how you can fold at that point getting over 3 to 1, but his actions say you are obviously beat unless he is a super donk.

What you could do is check the turn. This controls the size of the pot on the river and you can plan on calling any bet. Think about it for a second. He raised pf, bet flop and called your raise. I guess he could have AJ, AT, or a flush draw but tpgk is not the type of hand you want to be playing for stacks with.

I'm sure you wanted to make him pay to draw to his hand if he is behind, I know I think that sometimes in situations like this. But in the long run I think you save yourself more money by checking behind on the turn and calling a decent/blank river.

I would not have raised on the turn, thinking I would call the river bet. He did represent a very good hand from the start as I see DirteAA...Just read DirteAA and know he is right.

Against a 26/14 i'd reraise this preflop always. If he calls your 3-bet and the Ace flops - well all the power to him. But he will whiff the flop 60% of the time and you can just take it down then.

If you decide to raise his small cbet, make it a larger raise. But personally I would prefer a call here, the board is not very drawy and by raising you make him throw away alot of hands you beat (i doubt he calls your raise on the flop with any underpair).

As played i also don't like your turnbet either - if he's somewhat decent he will only call with AT+ (maybe even throw away a T kicker). 26/14 is most likely not the kind of player who happily stacks off here with weaker holdings than yours. You should not be trying to take take him to valuetown, but exercise some pot control and allow him to get to showdown with worse hands than you have.

Oh and exclude results and doesn't this hand belong to the microstakes?
