40nl - AKs utg in 3bet pot

edited April 2013 in The Poker Clinic
Don't recognise villain, have been playing for just over an hour and havn't seem them do anything bad other than limp utg, but is generally opening with a raise, haven't seen any pots go to showdown, seems fairly tag.

I decided to just flat as i didn't want to 4bet and gii pre as i feel i would of been crushed.
villain then decides to bet full pot on flop and i decided to fold as i felt i was probably drawing to a chop at best.

Is this a bad fold or does the villain have me crushed here? really had a bad feeling i was beat at the time but i'm not sure what the best line is here.
Should i peel, and re-asses the turn? It feels like a weak play to just fold flop with toptop, but the full pot size bet threw me.

    If you are going to fold on this flop, you should just fold pre.  Personally I think we should flat the flop and look to get it in on the turn or river.

    The funny thing is i was happy with this flop but the pot size bet just seemed v strong to me in a 3bet pot, i know thats pretty much a great flop what better am i looking for ha?? like dohh said not enough KKs lol

    I guess that's a note taken for me then aswell, "let liamboii keep betting pot and just station ha"
    and everyone else for that matter, i guess all i have achieved here is inadvertently shown people to bet pot in 3bet pots lol, hate how iv'e butchered this hand and guess it's time to adjust to much more of these bets ha

    we all butcher hands time to time m8 don`t worry about it just i`ve played you before and your a good solid player and defo a winning player so just a shock see you play hand this way.

    and also next pot we are involved in will be funny he`s only bettin pot cause he knows I fold tptk and he knows that i know I know that he knows I know this lol.

    Yeah been running really bad past couple of days, no excuses for butchering this hand though, it really stresses me when i lose due to bad play on my behalf as that's something in my control, it's much more tilting to me than getting coolered KKs /> AAs ect as that's just variance and there's nothing anyone can do to avoid this.

    Haha yep bring on the levelling wars, see you at the tables mate :)

    4b/c r fold to 3b pre, I don't hate the latter if villain hasn't 3b much and ye have no particular history given positions in this hand. If you flat don't fold when you make a pair
