Here is a Hand history guys tell me what you think the play is.
There are two early position limps and I have AdKc off suit on the hijack I flat. There is now a total of $45 in the pot. The button ends up making it $100 to go. My opinon of the button guy is that hes over aggressive with marginal hands. The flop comes Q D 10D and 5 s With $245 in the pot he bets $125. Here is where things got tricky for me. I re raise to $350 to try to get him off a small to medium pocket pair. He flated my re raise. The turn is the K of dimonds, The board Qd 10d 5s Turn K D. I have 2000 behind and he only has 850 at that point. I checked to hide the fact i just hit my K and he jammed ALL in for $850. I Called. The river was a A. Villian showed JcJd. This is really a interesting hand I would like some feed back on if I did anything wrong to what not thank you.
If your opinion is that the player gets overly aggressive with marginal hands, I'd lean towards 3betting his raise to $350 and calling his shove. He'll likely be jamming worse aces here, and you're racing against most of the other hands in his range. He'll also be folding a decent % of the time, so your limp/raise could work.
I also might recommend isolating the limpers pre and hand reading based on what occurs here. Ex: You bet to 60 over two limps and overly aggro guy makes it 200 – you can now jam and pick up a good amount of chips. Or: You raise to 60 and overly aggro player makes it 200 and then original limper raises – you now have enough information to know your AK is no good.
The flop and turn play are interesting – for sure. But the pre-flop stuff is where I think you went wrong on this hand.

Pot sized raise pre. Buy the button and the rest becomes so much easier.

Oh and you're not going anywhere once you hit your turn so please shove in his face and never check there ever ever ever.
Why are you limping behind with AK preflop and just calling raises OOP with it? This is basically the same as lighting money on fire.
Checking the turn to hide the strength of your hand is a pretty weak play, why allow him to have his positional advantage by deciding whether he wants to check back or bet the turn? This makes things easy on him.
“My opinon of the button guy is that hes over aggressive with marginal hands.”
So why flat his raise OOP with a hand like AK which is going to be difficult to play postflop OOP, instead of just shoveling money into the pot when we know our equity is great and we reduce his positional advantage by doing so?
