How would you've played this hand? Fold after the raise? Raise harder PF?

(I called his all-in cause I was sure he didn't have much of a hand)

And just exactly what did you think you had that would make you risk your life calling all-in? You had a draw to 2 overcards = NOTHING! At best you had 6 outs - 3 if he was playing KK. If he was playing AA you would need runner-runner K! His all-in gave you pot odds of about 2:1. With 6 outs you need 3.1:1 w/2 draws and against KK 3 outs of 7:1 w/2 draws and vs AA - well you're simply dead meat 999/1000 or worse!

First rule of tournaments is to SURVIVE! If that means laying down to a possible/probable bluff you can't afford - then you do it! Build your stack and get even later but NEVER risk your life on a draw from the flop!
Sure CO shouldn't have called preflop but he did - maniac or fish - but who cares, he claimed the pot after a 500 bet into a 675 pot with an all-in raise. With his stack big enough to wipe mine out - I've got to believe him!!

On the finer points I don't think I would have bet more than 300 on the flop for the reasons.
1. I want to keep the pressure on - I want the opps to worry about an over pair in my pocket.
2. Semi-bluff/continuation bet hopefully to win it right there on the flop
3. High enough to make draws a mistake but not overly hard on my stack and easier to get away from the hand if necessary - like this hand.
4. Probe bets are generally 1/3 - 1/2 and certainly probing for a hand qualifies in this hand.

In a re-buy I would still fold to this all-in but in a freeze-out it's really a no-brainer if you think it through!

According to the HH it was you calling his all-in (t4060) after your initial bet of 500 and not him calling your all-in (t1160). Why would you go all-in anyway except as a bluff?

Learn to fold on the flop . . . . you made your play at the pot, and now there's no more poker left to be played. Do you think A-high is good here? I make this reraise if I have ANY PP.

Besides, don't raise AK at these blinds . . . . do a limp/all-in play. Limp with AK, then when you hit your pair, move all in as quickly as possible.

As Irexes, phytopath, and anyone else who has picked this one up. It's a winner.

The AK stop & go works well, does it?
