[50NL] - AK TPTK gets raised on two-tone flop

[harangutang]

I have a hard time playing AK on a K high flop. I figured I either had to fold or shove here, but am not sure which is better. I figure his range here is mostly sets and draws?

I'm running about 20/15/3 and trying to play TAG. Villain is 20/15/2.7 over 200 hands. Didn't have any notes on villain, but he seemed generally decent.

SHOVE.

Why am I seeing so many posts that hte minute AK sees any resistance we run for the hills.

EMc - What kind of range do you put the villain on? If the King on the flop were an Ace I would have shoved without too much thought.

Hell have a FD here getting fancy sometimes, other hands getting fancy, maybe will fold an AK you tie. That to me is about 80% of his range IMO.

Thanks, that sounds like a pretty accurate range. What I like a lot about almost always 3betting AK is that a flop like this is so easy to play (get it in).
