Got stuck in the AKo hand and decide to flat call a min bet from a Limp/caller. Would it have been better to raise the flop immediately? I have only 12 hands on the villain (50/0) 40% limp.

Full Tilt - $0.02 NL - Holdem - 7 players
Hand converted by PokerTracker 4

BTN: $0.60 (VPIP: 91.67, PFR: 16.67, 3Bet Preflop: 0.00, Hands: 12)

BB: $2.00 (VPIP: 16.67, PFR: 8.33, 3Bet Preflop: 0.00, Hands: 12)
UTG: $0.74 (VPIP: 25.00, PFR: 0.00, 3Bet Preflop: 0.00, Hands: 8)

Pre Flop: (pot: $0.03) Hero has A♠ K♣

fold, fold, MP calls $0.02, Hero raises to $0.08, BTN calls $0.08, fold, fold, MP calls $0.06

Flop: ($0.27, 3 players) 2♥ 5♦ 8♥
MP bets $0.02, Hero calls $0.02, BTN calls $0.02

Turn: ($0.33, 3 players) A♦
MP bets $0.02, Hero raises to $0.26, fold, MP calls $0.24

River: ($0.85, 2 players) Q♣

Hero shows A♠ K♣ (One Pair, Aces) (Pre 74%, Flop 12%, Turn 7%)

Hello,

In these spots, I do advice people to just fold the flop. We just have two overcards and there are still two streets left to play, and even if we hit A or K it is not necessarily the best hand and we are likely to get into trouble spots on the later streets, also we have a player behind us left to act.

As played on the flop, raising the turn for value and betting the river is good.

Best,
Plamen
