First hand he could easily have AJ, 5x, 9x, so you could have even a better hand there.
Second hand K8 is on the top of his range, he calls too many raises preflop and tries to push tight players from their hands. You were reasonably good even against KT there (10 outs 2 times) and you had reasonable pot odds.

6 for the Full house. So, after my first 71 hands I am up 1bb. WOOHOO! LOL.
I am pretty happy with the way I played though, I got rid of a couple big ish pairs and the opponents showed and my fold was correct. I called a couple of flop bets with underpairs that I didn't need to and folded on the turn, costing myself maybe 5-7$ total, overall I was more aggressive but I was still at a loss as to how to react vs. a very loose v. aggressive opponent, I think I folded a few winning hands there.
Hand two I found the most difficult, because it was rapidly becoming clear that this guy was a maniac, yet I can't beat KT, KQ, AJ, I'm not in great shape against
![[Qc]](https://livepokerforum.com/images/smilies/Qc.gif "The Queen of Clubs")
![[Jc]](https://livepokerforum.com/images/smilies/Jc.gif "The Jack of Clubs")
or even QxS I hope to adapt to 6max, the swings seem bigger, but it is also more fun, because I am seeing 24%+ of flops instead of my FR usual of 10-14% .

First hand:
I don't autoraise AKo from BB. Check flop behind if you don't hit, shortstacks like to play like that one, save CB for overpairs. As played I would curse and call.
Second hand:
Call all day long.
Third hand:
Given the action it is likely that you lost that one, but it is played fine (I assume that you put MP AI).
Fourth hand:
Played fine.

I have only been at the table 8-10 hands ish, but opponent is short stacked and seeing nearly all the flops so far, calling a couple of raises, but not showing down.
I think my play here with AK is pretty standard, but my big question is what should I do on the flop VS this donk with 3-1 odds?
