this could have been prevented by raising preflop with ak, i limped in and caught 2 kings.... also the min bet on the turn was to try and induce a bluff, a mistake when i put him on a drawing hand...and even worse was calling his riverbet when i already had him on the flush draw....doh!!

edit: next time i'm gonna drop the f*cking hammer lol

I don't know what your stack sizes are but I would definately have raised preflop. Bet the flop pretty hard and if he still calls get all your chips in on the turn as long as the flush card doesn't come. At those stakes you really need to drop the hammer with strong hands like this. Also I would recommend never limping AK and never slow play. The bet on the turn to induce a bluff ins't one to make at this level.

thanks for the advice, i put this here to publicly shame myself into never making this mistake again...so far so good!!

I put sticky notes around my computer, when I do something stupid. My favortie so far "Q9os With 8 players SUCKS dont play it!!"

when i see a flop like that i immediately say, FUCK, and start strategizing about how i'm going to protect my hand against the flush draw. also on the river consider that you could be up against KJ.

Flop: Lure them in. Turn: Price them out.
