I think you did fine xtra. At the first hand you could call if you have some good info on him, but if you don't throw it.

If you would have been the initial raiser and you would have bet a decent amount you should call. But you have chips and you can wait for better odds than that to call with AK.

The last hand is hard to get away from. Maybe a larger raise as you say he was aggressive. He makes top pair and him calling there is the right play and he improves his hand even more so the right play by both you and him, maybe a larger raise preflop by you.

I think the AK fold was fine.

On the second hand- well I suppose if you'd played this predictably and by the book you'd of possibly kept your place in the game...

but you know that already, and there's nothing I can say which you don't already know You had a read on him and you chose to play it that way, if it had worked out favourably , it would of been a hand well played.

You can't be too predictable can you, and I guess that applies moreso at the level you are playing here.

I don't know if you necessarily put this down as a mistake. You can't really kick yourself for going with your read and instincts can you.

Letting an opponent bet into you is perfectly fine when he's been playing aggressive - but I think the check raise on the turn should have been a warning. He bet's the flop, ok - he may or may not have something - as you've said, he's been aggressive. A check-raise on the turn, though? I think that indicates a decent improvement in his hand. Maybe he just hit a set of 7s, or 2 pair (as was the case). Either way, at that point I proceed rather cautiously.
