AKo flops overcards

Preflop: Hero is MP2 with K[img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img], A[img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img]. CO posts a blind of $0.35.
<font color="#666666">2 folds</font>, <font color="#CC3333">UTG+2 raises</font>, <font color="#666666">1 fold</font>, <font color="#CC3333">Hero 3-bets</font>, <font color="#666666">1 fold</font>, <font color="#CC3333">CO (poster) caps</font>, <font color="#666666">3 folds</font>, UTG+2 calls, Hero calls.

Did CO get dealt a real hand right out of the gate? What range of hands do you put him on? I felt AA/KK/QQ/AKs all very possible. JJ and TT I guess also possible.

Flop: (13.80 SB) 9[img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img], 5[img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img], 3[img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img] <font color="#0000FF">(3 players)</font>
UTG+2 checks, Hero checks, <font color="#CC3333">CO bets</font>, UTG+2 folds, Hero calls.

I called getting 14.8:1 as Im not ready to abandon my stake in this pot as of yet.

Turn: (7.90 BB) K[img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img] <font color="#0000FF">(2 players)</font>
Hero checks, <font color="#CC3333">CO bets</font>, Hero calls.

I was going to c/r the turn after the K hit but here was what I was thinking in the heat of battle. If he has AA Im drawing slim. If he has KK Im drawing dead but I felt this hand probably not likely. If he has a hand lower than my K's he will be drawing slim and I don't want to lose him. With AK we split.

River: (9.90 BB) 8[img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img] <font color="#0000FF">(2 players)</font>
Hero checks, <font color="#CC3333">CO bets</font>, Hero calls.

Thanks for any thoughts on this one.

Final Pot: 11.90 BB

Looks good. If the person is not very aggressive, though, you're beat. And he probably doesn't have KK since there are only two kings left in the deck. I expect you'll get shown AK here more often than not.

Re: AKo flops overcards
 

I would have bet the riv. Looks good otherwise.

I'm probably betting the turn and calling down a 3-bet.

Re: AKo flops overcards
 

Seems to me your logic on the flop and turn contradict each other. If you can't count the K as an out on the turn then what did you think your outs were on the flop? If your only out on the flop is an A then you have 3 outs which is just barely enough to call getting 14.8: 1 (break even odds 14.3:1), but if the A outs aren't clean and you don't think the K outs are clean then you might be better off folding.

That said I think you are giving CO alot of credit here and if you are not pretty sure he has AA or KK I think your line is good.

Re: AKo flops overcards
 

On the flop I gave myself about 4 outs. .5 for each overcard and another 1 for the nut backdoor flush.

Re: AKo flops overcards
 

I don't think you need to worry about outs too much here. I think a good percent of the time villain has AK and you split. So folding would be a big mistake.

Re: AKo flops overcards
 

why do you assume your behind on the flop?

Re: AKo flops overcards
 

I donk the river and call a raise.

I'm thinking that a check on the river is the best option, b/c Hero is always calling a raise.

If you think he caps preflop and calls the river more than 50% with QQ, JJ, TT a bet is fine.

If he doesn't cap TT - he has to call 66% of the time with QQ, JJ.

If his capping range is AK+, AA, KK, QQ. A bet on the river is - EV.
