Don't like how you played it at all, but given the hands, the stakes and the stack sizes, I'm not sure if it would have ended any differently. You chose to slow play your premium hand preflop and on the flop; even though the flop was very draw heavy. The only reason to slowplay AK preflop is if you're going for a raise, but it doesn't look like that was your plan here. Once you hit your flop, and given the draws you need to raise. However, I'm pretty sure the villian calls your raise to see the turn. On the turn, I would have been very alarmed by the re-raise and just called. Now I'm pretty sure that the villian would have put all of his money in on the river, but perhaps he would try to be too cute and go for the check-raise. If so, you could save yourself a few dollars.

I look forward to reading your blogs and watch your game improve. Keep'em coming.
