check behind with my new outs, or bet again here?
opponent is too loose, but not incredibly donkish.

Re: ak turn decision
 

Just keep going at it, you've got more outs now. This is pretty standard.

Re: ak turn decision
 

Your equity against a non reverse dominating pair w/o a diamond is just over 34%. So you need 16% folding equity here to make it +EV to bet. If he's real loose my guess is you don't have it.

I say check.

Re: ak turn decision
 

I would definitely bet this. First, I think you have greater than 16% folding equity because people often call flop with anything and fold to turn bet. Second, I think you have the best hand a significant amount of time when you are called, so this is partially a value bet and you can check through on the river. The percentage of time you have the best hand and get paid off increases your equity significantly.

This isn't a complicated decision at all. You have a nut flush draw, two overcards, and your AK high might be good. Bet it.

Yeah, but why does opponent have to have a pair here?

Seems like an easy bet HU.

Okay, looks like I failed in arguing the other side. I'd bet too but I thought I'd try to make a case for checking. I failed.

Re: ak turn decision
 

i definately disagree with checking, bet this turn

Re: ak turn decision
 

It's HU, you're betting. If you get called, you get called, but you don't have to be successful every time.
