I probably don't raise as much pre flop though it isn't terrible. Then when he reraises, I would probably reraise to around 3x his raise or even get it in depending on read on him. C-bet on flop is fine. I fold turn.

My first instinct was to shove the turn.

I definitely check back the flop.

Just saw results and you cannot really be focused on that in this case. You have to fold the turn methinks unless you have a really good read on player.

You are beat by any pocket pair which makes sense and any pair on the board or set. He has a third of his stack commited and that turn bet just looks like he wants you to reraise.

FYP

when i first read it, i thought pocket pair. i would fold the turn.

preflop, when he 3bets you, you basically min 4bet him. either flat this 3bet, or shove.

basically you inflated the pot preflop, which meant you felt compelled to play the hand as you did.

reading the spoiler, he is just a monkey, cant do much about that. as played, i fold turn. but in general, i probably flat his 3bet preflop, and give up after he calls my cbet on the flop.

This. I either flat his 3-bet pre, or shove it pre. OOP it left you in a tough spot because you still have no pair. If you had position it might be different, but i hate playing big pots in this spot with AK.
