AKo blind defense
 

maybe this is an easy hand. but i guess i am rusty.

Button is loose pre, with some open limps and coldcalls. But i dunno about his raising standards. Post: he donkbets pretty liberally, but has shown decent hands. it doesnt apply in this hand but maybe it describes the kind of player he is.

just wondering if the turn/river line makes sense.

also if I hadnt hit the ace on the turn should I check/call down hoping for AQ/AT. it seems pretty thin.

I check raise the turn every time. Lags are capping A10, 1010 and up preflop. Your AK is good here almost always so make him pay you off. I call a 3 bet and check call the river.

No ace on turn makes things more complicated. Unless you have a read on him that he's absolutely nuts preflop, then I think, check call the turn and check fold the river UI. However, if the turn or river drop another J, then I call down.

Rais the turn. given your line bet call

k i guess i am a puss. raising sort of entered my mind but then i thought he gets away from KKQQTT easily. Plus he threebets with JJ/AJ easily. But i guess in reality at 10/20 people call those down . So I sort of took a WA/WB line.
