18 man btw

With the pot on flop 270, I would make my cbet slightly bigger. The small one you made could be profitable too, but 150-180 just looks more convincing.

Sometimes I flat this pre, but this is most likely me being weird.

On the whole you played well.

This early on I wouldn't look to put anything else in after not hitting the flop. It's really not worth it I don't believe. Really all you have beat is a bluff and you've invested way to much at this point. As played I'd just get away and think it through next time!

[TLR]

I would bet a bit more on the flop, although the flop is coordinated I think it is correct to c-bet one villian.
The intersting question is what is he clicking back with on the flop, I think it is most likely a draw or total air trying to pick up your cbet, so a lot is read depednat, in a vacuum I think both folding and calling with the intent of betting if a blank hits are both fine

[drmcboy]

I'd just take a flop, if you want to 3 bet do it much bigger. He's turbo folding Ax boards if you're ahead.

As played TLR is right, put a real bet out on flop, you'd make this play with AA never % on that board. Then you call and confirm exactly your two cards. Either ship or fold flop as played.

As played I don't see why the 9 is bad, if it was good to chase an A/K on the flop it's still good now, he didn't have a gutter and the pot is massive.

this whole hand looks like you're making plays based on formulas and plans(I three bet AK, I c bet small), play in a way that allows you to profitably bet your hand or bluff - hopefully both.
