    playing 5 handed .25/.50c

    My image is super tight.
    I'm in the bb with AKc and everyone playing with a full buyin of circa $50.
    UTG (hyper-active fish) min-raises. One caller (average) and the sb makes it $3.25 to play (decent player). I make it $10 and UTG + sb both call.

    flop of 3s 6s Td

    SB checks and I insta shove with only UTG left to act, good, bad, indifferent?

    I think you get called more than 50% of the time there.

    Well, this isn't a squeeze for a start, but it isn't the worst tbh. You will generally only get looked up by QQ + here, and you may have *some* outs if called, between 6 and none. I'm not mad about the move, but you will get called by KK/AA/TT/66/33 and maybe QQ/JJ. Anything else you might be ok. that is a lot of possible hands though tbh.

    I dont mind it as your image is super tight. However against 2 opponents I dont think this move will be +EV in the long run.
    Against 1 opponent you have showed pre-flop strength and followed that up with a really strong bet on the flop, so no problems.
    However in general this type of bet suggests you become a bit too attached to AK....

    thanks, I figured it was terrible looking back on it. I almost never make this kind of play but I thought the timing on this one was perfect and it turned out well. They both folded.

    I guess it was one of those, you had to be there moments. I was certain the only player to call me here would need KK/AA because that's what I'm representing and the good player of the 2 can only call with what I'm representing and chances of him having that were practically none. I had him on the same hand as myself or jacks after the flat call preflop. I had no concern with the other player because I've seen him all-in with KJs prf previously, so, put him on something of the likes of JQ/QK/KJ after the weak raise prf.
    The sb showed JJ when he folded btw.

    I don't get too attached to AK here at all, this was just picking a spot after a cold run of cards after a very long wait for a hand.
