    Well, it is unfortunate that the King hit on the turn, but he had best hand to start with, so I don't think it was a bad beat per se.

    I don't think you need to rais all in there. You have a str8t but he could have nut str8t with AK and he did min raise which suggests that he has something. Min raising up front is a common ploy for AA, KK, AK and suited Aces and Kings from what I have seen. Would you go all-in on the turn with the K hitting? I hope not as any Ace beats you.

    I don't think there was a need to go all in on flop. You want to get paid off so just call his reraise and see what the turn brings. If it is a safe card and he bets out you can make a decision then.

    If two bricks come and he makes some big move on the rive then it is payday.
