AKo vs. calling station

[jacki]

2 AK hands vs. the same opponent.
Kinda laggy preflop, very loose-passive postflop. Saw him calling at least to river very often, and took junk to showdown occasionally.

I like the first hand. On the second hand, when you are giving up position, and will call a river bet, then you should usually bet, if you weren't going to call a river bet, then checking is OK.

Good luck,
play well,

Hand 2: Bob T., I thought it was normally a better idea to check/call to induce a bluff from hands that wouldn't call a bet and sometimes save a bet when behind. Is this a somehow a special scenario?
