A-K suited, Party 30-60 full, indecision on all streets

[raconteur]

I open utg with As-Ks, its folded to a player in mid position 25/19/1.64/525 (im in the new toy stage of using pokertracker), who threebets, and its folded around to me, and I call. The flop comes 9s-8s-7c, I checkraise and get called. The turn comes the 3h, i lead, get raised, and call. The river comes the Kd. Lead/call, check/call, check/raise? I'm also undecided as to whether I should have capped preflop, or simply led the flop after not capping pre, or adopted one of several alternative lines.

The villain has a 19% PFR. Not capping is giving up way too much. I like a bet/call on the river, but I don't play 30/60, so you might want to wait for someone else to respond.

River is a bet/call. Preflop, I'll flatcall 3-bets heads up more than most, but against a guy with these type of stats, you really ought to cap unless he's capable of getting really spazzy/out of line postflop if you flat call and hit your hand.

I'd also consider lead/3-betting the flop here.

I cap PF and bet/call the river.

cap it preflop and lead call the river

I also like a PF cap and a flop lead. Getting 3 bets in on this flop would be good thing and you may get a better hand to fold if you fire on the turn UI.

I think capping preflop is a must. You are getting 3 bet by AJs here too.

Also on the flop, I like betting. I'm not sure about 3 betting as I think we may get raised here by AT and I want to see a showdown.

I can tell you a cap PF is right, and that a bet/call on the river is correct, as far as the flop and turn, i'll bow out now and let the others take over...

let's say the river is a 5 or below, non spade, are u check calling this river?

[mscags]

I cap this preflop as I think it makes the hand easier to play. Anyway, having not capped the flop I like the way you played it. I would bet out on the river because if he has something like JJ or QQ he might check behind. I really don't like calling a raise by any means because it means he is telling you he sees you hit kings and it doesn't scare him, however in the heat of battle I probably auto call and then cry.

Depending on aggression and showdown stats, I could pretty easily.
