$25 NLHE 5-handed.
I'm on the CO with $53.94 and Ad Ks. UTG raises to $1.00 and I call then everyone else folds pot=$2.35. Flop comes 10c As Js and villain bets $2.00 then I raised to $6.00 then he raises me another $8.00 I move all-in and he calls for his last $3.90 pot=$29.15. He turns over a set of Jacks and takes down the pot. Did I overplay it?

This is a tricky flop for AK. The texture is not good for you IMO.

You asked a question with your flop raise and got an answer. You decided to ignore answer and you lost. One pair is only one pair.

Lots of people would go broke here and I am not saying its the worst play in the world either. A lot depends on your reads of the player and more importantly your notes on the player. you have just paid $29.15 for some quality notes. You now know that a third raise on the flop from this player means he has a strong hand.

5-handed 3 bet this pre-flop, and call a shove based on his stack size. As played the only hands your beating is AQ, and KK and KK dosnt play out like this.

Look at the flop texture and the hands that are likely to be raised P/F and beat you. AJ/A10/KQ/J10/JJ/1010 + any combo draws are all ahead of you now. Really all your beating is AQ and your getting beat by lots. You need to take a little more time over a hand to have a look at the flop textures more closesly before you committ to TPTK type hands.

Yeah if you get a reraise of your raise, you can expect two pairs or above.
One pair would be an easy fold. If you can fold bottom two pairs that's an achievement. :)

However, I've seen some youtube clips where a pro with TPTK bets, gets raised by another pro with two pairs, and reraises all-in. The two pair pro called (but lost to bad beat). The TPTK guy probably picked up some (wrong) tells.

Ya after the hand and thinking about it for a litlte bit I came to the same conclusion that tenbob came to. His range of hands that he'd raise me with pf that have me beat here are enormous, I think this is obviously a -EV play on my part but live and learn right? Thanks for the replies.
