Default Stars 5.50$ AK on low flop, what to do here?

Hey!

My question here is, what do i do in this position? Villain is prety aggressive, more tight agressive, then loose agressive.

Tnx!


PokerStars No-Limit Hold'em Tourney, Big Blind is t50 (7 handed) Hand History Converter Tool from FlopTurnRiver.com (Format: 2+2 Forums)

Hero (t2200)
MP1 (t2190)
MP2 (t2480)
CO (t2105)
Button (t1675)
SB (t1400)
BB (t1450)

Preflop: Hero is UTG with A[img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img], K[img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img].
<font color="#CC3333">Hero raises to t150</font>, <font color="#666666">1 fold</font>, MP2 calls t150, <font color="#666666">4 folds</font>.

Flop: (t375) 2[img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img], 7[img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img], 2[img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img] <font color="#0000FF">(2 players)</font>
Hero checks, <font color="#CC3333">MP2 bets t400</font>, Hero???

Final Pot: t375

You have A high. You can just beat a total bluff. I don't think this flop hit villain, but villain also thinks that this flop did not hit you at all.
No need to get fancy and try to c/r representing an overpair.

Yep, that read is the reason why i checked the flop, by that time i only knew he was agressive, so i went in careful, is this good reasoning or am i wrong?

It's not an error to fold AK here. You could have done a c-bet putting the pressure on him. Something like 2/3-3/4 the pot.
You still have 40bb left and it did not cripple you, so just move on to the next hand [img]/images/graemlins/smile.gif[/img] If you don't hit, its just A high - nothing to put all your chips at risk for. With no real hand and oop this is an uncomfortable situation for you.

This is a terrible flop for AK and checkfolding can't be very far wrong. If you cbet, many players will just not believe you and raise you. Still, you could make a small bet and hope for the best.
