Pot too bloated, where was the error?

edited September 2014 in Sit & Go Strategy
This hand is from a £5 DYM, no reads.

I got myself into trouble with a hand I often seem to play badly, AK. I think my re-raise pre-flop was okay, not entirely sure why I made it 305 and not 300 though haha. Half-pot continuation bet on the flop and at that point the pot was too bloated and I couldn't really make another bet on the turn - planned the whole thing very badly.

What should I have done?

    Your raise p/f is ok. i prefer a call though as it's already been raised, this saves you chips here & if we miss flop we have just ace high... and we are out of position another factor to factor in  lol
    your 1/2 pot flop bet is ok but probably going to get called from pre flop raiser, so i prefer a ch fold here.
    the turn going ch ch doesn't tell us much other than neither wants to commit to hand.
    once you ch river, that's 2 streets we've shown weakness, so opponent goes allin we have to fold.
    with 1420 in pot you could have tried a small bet here to try & win those chips maybe 400 or so but without reads on opponent it's hard to know if they would call you anyway. i think they would here.
    this is why having notes on players is key, as this dictates our moves, especially with marginal holdings like this.
    without notes i take the cautious line.. most of the time.  ie, call pre-flop ch fold on flop.

    you said it, you planned it badly. it's a game of chess & you have to think ahead... all the time..
    what if i do this & they do that, what if they do that what do i do, sort of thing.

    Don't really play DYM's so feel free to disregard but...

    I'd raise bigger pre (or call if going to make a tiny raise)

    I'd go with the hand on the turn....we have the As in our hand, two probably live over cards and a guaranteed out to broadway, with the aggression and betting lead, plus the Q is a good card for our range. Whether we go all in or just make a large bet that leaves little behind is your call.

    Probably call the river as played.

    A very late response to this , intrigued as to why here?

    Pretty standard in this spot to just flat pre. When we 3bet an UTG raiser out of position in a DYM 6 handed, we're pretty much repping QQ+. If he comes back over the top we have to fold and thrown easy chips away. As played I'd jam the turn, smashes our perceived range and we still can have KK/AA here. Outs if called. If we bet the flop, I think we have to jam most turns.
