Default AK, WA/SB?

PokerStars No-Limit Hold'em Tourney, Big Blind is t30 (9 handed) internettexasholdem.com

saw flop|<font color="#C00000">saw showdown</font>

MP2 (t1955)
MP3 (t1775)
CO (t700)
Hero (t2135)
SB (t1735)
BB (t1740)
UTG (t1910)
UTG+1 (t2370)
MP1 (t610)

Preflop: Hero is Button with A[img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img], K[img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img].
<font color="#666666">4 folds</font>, <font color="#CC3333">MP3 raises to t60</font>, <font color="#666666">1 fold</font>, <font color="#CC3333">Hero raises to t120</font>, SB calls t105, <font color="#666666">1 fold</font>, MP3 calls t60.

Flop: (t390) Q[img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img], T[img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img], A[img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img] <font color="#0000FF">(3 players)</font>
SB checks, MP3 checks, Hero ???

Still early, so no really solid reads. People have been playing relatively loose, but not horribly so. Limp/calling w/ sc, suited broadways, PP's, Axs, normal for the $4's. Is this a WA/WB situation?

Should have re-raised more pre-flop. Your size is close to what I OPEN raise to. So I say 250 there.

When checked to you here, I would c-bet any flop, 250-300. On this flop you got TPTK, and you should consider your bet a valuebet, until someone tries to tell you differently.

BTW: If I'm gonna fold this hand, SB and MP3 have to get pretty crazy in their betting.

WTF Ace? Why did you min-raise!?!?!?! I just bet like 300 here and I'm probably calling a push.

Yeah.. OP seems like a quite good player from the posts I have seen from him. His pre-flop action might have been a misclick or something.

It wasn't a min raise... He min-raised and I just bet my regular opening raise (which, I know is really stupid, just not paying enough attention I think). I probably should have made it at least 200. But now that I have a small pot, should I start inflating it on the flop?

On the flop I think you have to bet 250/300 - you need to get value out of smaller Aces that will call bets but won't bet for you here. Unless someone has a set/straight you have 7-10 outs when behind - action behind will determine where I go from here with the hand

Should I start inflating the pot? Basically do I want to start creating a pot that eventually I will have to put my stack in.

THANK GOD!!! Seriously, isn't this a way ahead slightly behind situation? My question for those that are advocating betting, what does that accomplish?
