Stealing blinds w/AKo
 

Villain is a complete unkown as I've just sat down at this table

I've got AKo otb and raise it up, villain in sb 3 bets, BB folds I cap

Flop QT2 rainbow

He bets I raise he calls

Turn 9

He checks I check

River Q

He checks, I check

Standard? Does anyone bet this river after he checks 2x in a row?

Not against an unknown.

I don't think I'd bet the river, can't think that any hand you'd beat would call, and most of what beats you won't fold.

I'd probably semi-bluff that turn...

I think Id bet this turn, and if called check behind on river, You can still catch but might make him fold AK [img]/images/graemlins/smile.gif[/img] Would depend on the player. With no reads there are a few lines here I think would be Ok. Yours looks fine too, just depends on how aggro you want to be.

I definitely would not bet the river.

Semi-bluff bet the turn. You may win the pot there. If not, a bluff bet on the river would probably have +EV chances of success, or just check it through.

I like the check on the river.

Unlike some of the others I also like the check on the turn. The problem is that you probably have outs on the turn so you would then call a raise, making betting and getting raised pretty much suck.
