I dunno this hand is pretty tough to analyze because MP1 looks more like a calling station then anything else. He doesn't look like much of a rock to me. Rocks don't bet draws so his flop bet should mean at least top pair. I also don't see why he would keep calling with a weaker king but I might be wrong. I might just call the turn and river in this hand.

Looks OK. I can't see anywhere that I would be able to either get away from the hand, or throw in another raise.

The thing about rocks is, AK is one hand that a lot of them won't raise with. And with their rockish nature, it wouldn't surprise me to see MP1 turn over AK /images/graemlins/spade.gif, or something like that. When you don't blow him out on the turn, the river play is exactly what I'd do.

Well he's been updated to sLP-P. He must've been getting a bad string of cards, but his VPIP is up to around 25 now.

But obviously I give the reads I have when the hand goes down, not necessarily the most current read. The rock not betting a draw is what really made me put him on top pair.

Turns out he had J9/images/graemlins/spade.gif and did bet his draw on the flop.

MP2 had KTo and MHIG. I was pretty surprised.
