(Heh, get it, "Lukie style". Yes it was intended)

Villian in this hand just sat down not too long ago, but he seemed very fishy. In a previous hand he limped UTG with Q9o, and on a flop of AQ6 two-tone, he bet flop, called a raised, and called a 2nd barrell on the turn from button. Turns out the button was a donkey since he was on a stone cold bluff, and he takes it down with 2nd pair.

For the hand in question, I thought about re-raising preflop, but I'm pretty sure if I don't hit (2/3 of the time) he will still call down with whatever garbage he has, so I decide to call and use my position. I'm pretty sure he doesn't check a flush draw on this flop, plus I have Ac. The only hand I'm worried about is 7x, but coming from a donkey, I think the majority of 7x hands he wants to play from UTG he will limp. Oh yeah, I'm also very worried about AK. Thoughts?

Lukie is on a distinguished road
 I can't say I like it. But I don't think it's as bad as it looks either. I'd probably make it $25 on the flop when it's checked to me the majority of the time.

edit: actually I don't know about the flop bet there. I'd probably make it some of the time, and probably more like $30 or so. A lot depending on what I thought the other 2 guys had.

What happens when he shows down AK high here? You should raise the turn if you think he is weak, calldowns like this are massively -EV I have found.
