2 times AKo HU...the perfect hand(s)?

[bozlax]

Played this flop/turn like a Stradivarius, I did.

Villan is LPP, but not so extremely as to warrant notice in the 30 or so hands I've seen.

<font color="#666666">1 fold</font>, UTG+1 calls, <font color="#CC3333">Hero raises</font>, <font color="#666666">7 folds</font>, UTG+1 calls.

I wouldn't have minded a couple more callers but it's mid-Tuesday 1/2...what can you expect? Got it HU with a loose-passive to my right!

[singing] Some-body's got a kiiiiiing... [/singing] Or is bluffing. Or is on a flush draw. Regardless, I don't want to stop him from betting into me on the turn for one lousy SB so I smooth-call, planning to raise a non-club turn.

Dontcha love it when a plan comes together?

Final Pot: 9.75 BB

In this second hand, Villan is slightly less loose, and aggressive. Seems thoughtful, tho, not just balls-to-the-wall betting and raising.

Preflop: Hero is MP1 with K[img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img], A[img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img].
<font color="#CC3333">UTG raises</font>, <font color="#666666">1 fold</font>, <font color="#CC3333">Hero 3-bets</font>, <font color="#666666">6 folds</font>, UTG calls.

UTG raise + 3-bet call = ace plus k-9o or a mid-pp. Possibly KQo/KJo, given that he's a bit loose.

Flop: (7.50 SB) Q[img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img], 8[img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img], A[img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img] <font color="#0000FF">(2 players)</font>
<font color="#CC3333">UTG bets</font>, Hero calls.

I'm screwed if it's AQ, otherwise I'm in good shape. Again, if he's bluffing/drawing, I don't want to stop him and I don't want to bloat the pot for him (especially if I'm behind).

Turn: (4.75 BB) T[img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img] <font color="#0000FF">(2 players)</font>
UTG checks, <font color="#CC3333">Hero bets</font>, UTG calls.

Now I'm behind KJ as well. Bet/fold, here.

River: (6.75 BB) 8[img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img] <font color="#0000FF">(2 players)</font>
UTG checks, Hero checks.

Final Pot: 6.75 BB

The river is possibly a mistake, but I don't think so. Villan is aggro enough to c/r with top pair, and I'm going to have a tough time calling a raise on this board with TPTK against a thinking LAG.

How do you like them?
