    Default AK, $1 90-player Double Stacked SnG

    Big Slick is tricky. Did I play this right pre and post-flop?

    What's my move on the turn?

    Full Tilt Poker Game #3304033888: $1 + $0.25 Sit & Go (25267375), Table 4 - 15/30 - No Limit Hold'em - 20:15:15 ET - 2007/08/19
    Seat 2: CO (3,990)
    Seat 3: MattJPerry (2,025)
    Seat 4: SB (2,910)
    Seat 5: BB (2,880)
    Seat 6: UTG (6,315)
    Seat 7: EP (3,000)
    Seat 8: MP (2,880)
    Seat 9: LP (3,000)
    The button is in seat #3

    *** HOLE CARDS ***
    Dealt to MattJPerry [ ] (45 pot)
    UTG calls 30, two folds ,adyrebel1996 calls 30, CO calls 30 , MattJPerry raises to 195, SB calls 180, one fold, UTG calls 165, CO calls 165.
    Standard raise on the button, quite surprised at the number of callers, but at low stakes it's gonne be loose, right? Building a nice pot that I might wanna take down on the flop, 'cos of my below average stack.

    *** FLOP *** [ ] (810 pot)
    SB checks, UTG bets 250, one fold, CO calls 250, MattJPerry calls 250, one fold.
    Slightly concerned about a set due to the high number of callers, but I think a pair with an Ace kicker more likely. I'm gonna optimistically hope that any club or K wins it for me, giving me 12 outs, and massive implied odds due to the action-packed pot. Maybe an argument for raising here and trying to take the pot now?

    *** TURN *** [ ] [] (1,560 pot)
    UTG checks, CO checks,
    Hero???

    I figure I can either:
    -Check and hope to score a club
    -Bet out and try to exploit the weakness shown by UTG and CO to win a big pot now and practically double up. Represent A7 perhaps, but I've been tight so far and that's inconsistent with my preflop raise. 77 maybe.

    Thoughts? Am I a total donk?

    That commits me, but if I'm right I have 12 outs, I suppose.

    Yeah try and get it in on the flop, a shove isn't completely OTT considering number of players to the flop, our stack size and the fact that we want to see turn AND river. Also any smaller raise just commits us

    Definitely raise the flop. Checking the turn is fine because I straight draw and heart draw are now very open possibilities.
