I play 100 NL and 10/20 limit at party poker. I am a pretty tight agressive player but will play suited connectors and Axs alot if pot odds are right. So my raising hands are usually the top ten hands AA-77, AK, AQ. In NL I usually raise 5xBB and of course in limit 2xBB. I keep up with my stats with Poker tracker. My dilema is the damn AK. I lose that hand %84 of the time. My problem id of course missing flop when you have a caller behing you. If flop comes up rags I try to push about 1/2 maybe 2/3rds the pot. Problem now if player behind calls. Flop is rags so no drawing hand. Did he hit trips or holding a high pair so question is what to do on the turn if I didnt hit my card. Bet out again or check and fold to his bet? Ive almost giving up on rasing with AK unless Im in very late position. And then if the flop gives sometime of drawing hand like 2 suited cards or connectors; I bet out on the flop even though I didnt hit my flop, he calls, turn didnt help his hand I bet again he calls and the river didnt help his hand, do I bet or check? If i bet Ive been put all in quite a bit due to pot odds. Never have called with just AK. Of course in limit its alot easier to get out of hands againts more then one caller since you haent invested as much.

Your thoughts?


Thanks
