Generally being OOP i'm happy to fold flop, we didn't get our card and the pots relatively cheap.

Why are we fighting for it? AK Is great if we hit our card or we can get our opponent to fold out.

A re-raise and lead generally is quite a strong move. And really even if our opponent is bluffing and hit a 6 or 7... we still can't beat him.

I agree with letting it go once he raises you on the flop. The board hits his calling range pretty hard and you're OOP.

As played, I'd call the turn. A lot of the draws got there and I don't think he's folding often enough to raise.

I am honestly, x/folding this flop alot. I know we hold the A of clubs but this flop just smashes villains calling range. As played, Idk if I even like raising turn because if villain was semi bluffing, he got there. If he wasn't semi bluffing, he has 2 pair+ which probably isn't folding to this raise.

I forgot to mention that my Flop Cbet% is 92%, so if the villain is a HUD-using reg (which I suspect he is), then he'd want to take advantage of my high propensity to Cbet with air, which is why I didn't believe him when he raised my flop bet. If I had a much lower Cbet%, then I'd be more likely to respect his raise, since I'd assume that he'd assume that I'm not betting with air, which wasn't the case here... Does that make sense?

The thinking of players trying to outplay you at this level will hurt your winrate... most arent good enough to outplay or they wouldve moved up levels
