.....I played this hand!!! Am posting it here as a prime example of how not to play AKo!! I think my reasoning was something along the lines that he was short and if I showed enough weakness he'd eventually have to shove - whether he had it or not - instead I just let him off the hook totally :wall :wall :wall :wall Worst thing you can do in poker - bet when you dont have a hand and not to bet when you do have a hand :wall :wall :wall :wall Game #8053874464: Carribbean Bounty (ID8267731) £10+£1 - Hold'em NL (25/50) - 2008/10/16 - 19:55:17 (UK) Table "8267731 - 5" Seat 6 is the button.
