Hmmmm...

I would of raised to 200 pre flop because I only want AK against 1 player really, especially against the limpers under the gun.

When GUY checks and then just flat calls your bet it shows a sign of weakness for me, I think he would definately be re-raising with KQ/AQ/Set of something here..

The push on the turn is a weird play by him but I think Im calling in your position there too...It came across to me that he wasn't strong and thats what it was. 

Unlucky man.

when 'guy' goes allin,im assuming u probly know ur losing,but have flush draw and 2 over cards(assuming he hasnt got Q10),so you gotta call???,thats how i lose with AK 'often'...dont think id be callin with 34 tho,he mustv felt lukky.

Any J (straight) - 4

Any diamond - 9

i missed the str8 draw(lol),dont think u cudv played it any different,he was desperate,and when hed hit a little tiny bit he wasnt goin anywhere,and yes u had lots of outs,obviously if he had Q10 then ur K + A didnt really count.

The reason he was so low was he was playing raggy Aces i was actually 100% confient he was betting a low ace

philmenow

certainly wouldnt put him on 34(lol),its such a shame these sort of plays 'win'.very speculative.but if all the chips had gone in pre flop thats the sort of muck u wanna be up against.

You've counted the Jd twice so you actually have one less out but you still easily have the pot odds to call his all-in.

Looking at the action, it looks as though you are sat at a very loose/weak table of people who limp and call any bet. Therefore, you need to raise more pre-flop to get rid of them (or just limp pre-flop yourself and hope to hit and get paid with AdKd).
On the flop you make a weak continuation bet but you still manage to get 2 of your 3 opponents to fold. It's risky to c-bet here against 3 opponents who you cannot put on a hand.

The play by "guy" with 34 is speculative (at best) and you are unlucky to lose to him but you will obviously beat a player like that over time.

In summary, on a table of loose players who call very light, play your big hands MUCH more aggressively.
