    I'm guessing he put you on two pair after the flop.

    I would have guessed he held A2s or A8s. Did he have a history of playing suited aces like this?

    I don't think I would have expected TPTK to be played this slow after the flop.

    I usually don't reraise a missed flop with unsuited AK. Whats the point? You dont have a made hand and you're a 6 outter based on the flop. You have no odds and are minimally invested with no action except the villian. Unless this guy has been trying to run all over you I would likely muck this and look to the next hand.

    Dont overvalue AK.

    If hes a decent enough player, I am instantly worried about a set of Queens, but only after the 3 bet on the turn. Even then, That play doesnt make sense, you can't decide to slowplay half way through a street. But the only thing that really makes sense here is AQ and he is fearing KK from you. He has ruled AA as a possibilty since there are only two left, so hes capping for value.

    I wouldn't have raised that flop, but I would have called, then been aggressive after the ace hit.

    Looked at results: Wooot I'm good.
    Marm is back, maybe. Been off for 3 years. Rusty as Hell.
