400NL: two AK hands, two flop decisions

[boltonflats]

hand one: easy raise

hand two: tougher, min raise no fun, id lean towards raising back. could take a c/c line as well.

Raise to about $66 and fold to push?

What I hate about this hand is that UTG limps, calls my $30 PF raise then raises my flop bet. Ugh.

well, agree with hand one. not sure on hand two though. he has put $100 into the pot so far. he started with ~$450. $350 left behind, dont know if id use the word committed to this pot yet. op has very strong hand, but oppenent has played it not very scared. id lean on pushing as well, but almost a c/c or c/f would be ok.

sir, would you be so kind as to elaborate?

[soah]

you may have the best hand in the first one, but you don't want to play a big pot with it

in the second hand you usually have about 6% equity

$66 is fine, maybe more. not sure about the fold to push, but if he pushes it would be tough for him to bluff you here after your preflop and flop actions.

yeah, 2nd hadn is tough, no good answer, i think i might call and peel one and see what happens, nothing good really though!
