Default Re: AK Sooooooted, River play...?

The turn bet isnt terrible, you obviously got the button to fold, and even when called, you got outs to a better hand, the nuts even.

A check call on the turn to keep the pot small oop wouldn't be terrible as there isnt many free cards that will hurt you, and you might even get a lower flushdraw to stick around. But i still favor the bet.

The river? I'd check-call a bet as large as 50-80$, depending on reads.

The reasoning is that since you bet when the ace fell, he called.. either he got a pair of aces beat, or he's drawing to a hand that do. (sure, he might have a worse ace, but i dont see an unimproved AJ fire 2$ into a 26$ pot in a 4-handed pot.)

By checking instead of beting on the river, you give a foiled straight and/or flushdraw a chance to bluff at the pot (bearing the unlikely 68).You might even get a worse ace to valuebet.

By betting the river, you will get his draw to fold. and hands that has you beat will simply call(or raise).

How's my line?
