Default 25NL: Top 2 Pair Vs dangerous board

Villain seems pretty tag-ish so far. (13/6) over 140 hands.


Full Tilt No-Limit Hold'em, $0.25 BB (8 handed) Hand History Converter Tool from FlopTurnRiver.com (Format: 2+2 Forums)

CO ($10.35)
Button ($8.55)
SB ($9.50)
Hero ($24.30)
UTG ($17.30)
UTG+1 ($18.25)
MP1 ($13.65)
MP2 ($21.85)

Preflop: Hero is BB with A[img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img], K[img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img].
<font color="#666666">2 folds</font>, MP1 calls $0.25, <font color="#CC3333">MP2 raises to $1</font>, CO calls $1, <font color="#666666">2 folds</font>, Hero calls $0.75, MP1 folds.

I'm not a huge fan of raising a raiser AND a caller with AK OOP, so I decided to see a flop for a call and see what happened.
Flop: ($3.35) A[img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img], K[img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img], Q[img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img] <font color="#0000FF">(3 players)</font>
Hero checks, <font color="#CC3333">MP2 bets $2.5</font>, CO folds, <font color="#CC3333">Hero raises to $8</font>, MP2 calls $5.50.

I hit top 2 pair on a crazy board, so I check to see who bets and then raise with top 2 pair.
Turn: ($19.35) 6[img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img] <font color="#0000FF">(2 players)</font>

I get flat called by the original raiser (which I don't like) and am left OOP on the turn
<font color="#CC3333">Hero?</font>

What now? Comments on flop play are welcome...and yes, I'm aware that 3 betting pre-flop would've made this much easier...but most of the time, the flop will miss me and I can get out cheap.

As played I'd try to call down. Since you did not re-raise pre-flop, it's hard to narrow down their holdings, but after call/flat call on the flop, I'd put them on Ax/KQ/KJ/JJ. I cannot see a set or JT playing it like this.

I bet this turn $12.85 (his remaining stack). If he has JT or a set and didn't raise your CR then say NH to him. The push is because any bet by you makes you pot commited and to me it is weak to CR then check. If you were to check the turn and he bets you have much equity to fold so push.

Is a 13/6 really opening JT in MP2 ? I would bet 1/3 on turn and 1/3 on river to extract the most of AQ/KQ/JQ/KJ and similar holdings. If he shoves i have at least 4 outs. (No way i fold here without more evidence i´m behind)

I have gained more resolve in 3-betting with AK out of the BB. I pushed turn and got called by QQ. I apologize for post as many hands as I have recently, but I want to try and fix mistakes now. [img]/images/graemlins/smile.gif[/img]
