Lead flop. Check-raise turn from OOP. Semi-bluff, and if villian has AK he will be hard pressed to continue (8.75:1 and he does not know what outs are clean, but must suspect you have 2 pair with a flush draw). The turn is a great card for your hand, and doesn't help anyone else. Do not fold turn. River card kills your hand. Bet/fold river.

Tib's posts in his blog make the point about aggression. You have no idea where you are in this hand. If I were MP1 I could have JJ-AA, AK-AJ, maybe ATs, and if I was feeling frisky I might even hold 88 or 99. Against a range like that, with MPGK, you need to figure out where you are in this hand.

Emmasdad's line is good. Not knowing where you are in a hand is worse than losing a hand, IMO. It signifies some underlying flaw in your game. If you play a solid aggressive style you should almost always know where you are.
