I was playing a small 3.25 SNG and the blinds were 25/50. First postion with 4k stake call the blinds. I have 2.8k A K suited and was left of the button. I decided to just call with my AK. SB and BB called.
Flop came:

K 8 Q all different suits. A perfect flop for me. Everyone checks to me, so i raised it up to 150. SB and BB folds, so now we have first position. He decided to reraise me to about 500. Since he couldn't possiblely tell what I have, and reraising me, I put him on TP thinking he was trying to protect his hand . So I waited a while before i called, pretending i have a Q or an 8.

Turn came a 10, he instantly pushes the rest of his chips in. So, looking at my AK and the flop K 8 Q 10, I thought I had him beat, so i called.
We showed hands and he turns over K 10.

River came a 9 and I lost.

Thinking back at that hand, I was wondering if anyone would have gave that hand up? Or how someone would have played that hand?

Sorry, posted this on wrong section

PF, you think your ahead and just call. Flop: you think you are ahead when he re-raised and just call. Turn he pushes and you call. Passive play rarely pays.

FTR - I was putting him on KQ for a UTG pf limp at these levels

You played this alright, but my money would have probably gotten in before the flop, especially in a larger SNG, you pretty much want to see coinflips all day long and get the best of them, seeing flop basically equals losing money or not making enough, AK is an excellent starting hand and only a few are better than it. Me, Reraise Pre Flop, Reraise all in on FLOP.

Pre Flops were just calls. But if I did raise with AK pre-flop, im sure he would have called and when the flop came, I would have raised, and instead of him reraising him sure he would have just called. Then the turn he would have hit his 2 pair, and push all in and I call and lose that way.

So if you putting him on KQ, would you have giving it up on that turn when that 10 came out? If I played more agressive, do you think he would have gave that up? Also, if i were to reraise him on all in on flop, would he have folded?
