When he capped PF and checked the flop, I suspected he had AK. But I couldn't decide whether or not to pull the trigger here -- if he has AK he could lay down half the pot. But he's not calling with a hand I beat and he's not folding a pair. So who bets this river?

I've seen people play AK like this and they often call a river bet UI anyway.

Yeah bet it b/c AK is the only hand that makes sense here.

His play is SOOO consistent with AK, that it appears you are on a total freeroll with a bet here.

I'm pretty sure I don't like your turn bet.

I don't know about that...you can fold to a raise pretty easily here, and if no one has the str8 or a heart draw you have mad folding equity.

I agree with the Gman

Nah, pairs are calling you down - not folding. Your folding equity is not "mad". You have A-high with a discounted gutshot and dirty outs - why bet?
