Now, I won the hand, but I have a couple of issues with it.
I personally dislike AK to begin with, but I went along with how I'd normally play it preflop. I'd have considered a raise to 600 but any more than that I MAY have folded. Depends on my gut feeling.
I was concerned about there being 2 diamonds on the flop, looking back I feel I should have bet more, but it's also the reason for my actions on the turn and river.
One issue I have is that, because there were two diamonds on the flop, almost all of my attention was making it expensive for my opponent to call with a flush draw. I barely even registered the second 8 on the river.
Also, I bet VERY quickly with this hand. I'm quick on the keyboard, and after about a second looking at the flop, I raised 4x Big Blind. Even quicker actions for the turn and river. What merits would swift betting have online in this situation, if any?
