Unimproved AK OOP

[gaming_mouse]

Opponents were loose-passive, calling stations. Sometimes I'll bet the flop here, but I had no fold equity, so I felt I'd gain more info check/calling.

The turn c/call is what I don't like. I don't like betting out either. And I'm not crazy about c/folding, but I think that actually might be my preference.

Feel free to flay me for being weak-tight, just offer a better line. Also, please assume I have no fold equity on the flop or turn, as I'm confident that was the case.

turn seems like an easy fold once you discount your outs.

what was your plan on the river if you hit? bet-call?

I think check/folding the turn is probably best. I think you have to at least discount your ace outs against 3 opponents of this description.

If you have no folding equity then yes, check/calling is the only way to go. I doubt very much the nut high card is good in a field of 4 players. On the flop you're definitely getting odds to peel and on the turn you are too, as long as you are sure that all six of your outs are good. Despite the slight risk of being reverse dominated and getting no action on the river if you hit I think it's worth a call. My problem is not being sure whether checking or betting the river is best if you hit. I'd check/raise, but if an educated poster suggested otherwise I'd take their advice.

Yes, that is what I thought.

Thanks chief.
