Extracting bets with AK.

CO is a decent player. Maybe a bit eager preflop, but otherwise fine.

Preflop: SamIAm is SB with A[img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img], K[img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img].

Final Pot: 12.50 BB

Preflop is obvious. On the flop, I felt betting was the only option. Checking was too suspicious after 3betting preflop.

On the turn, I'm no longer worried about the straight or the flush. [img]/images/graemlins/smile.gif[/img] (If he has QTs, he deserves to win.) The thing is, is the bet/3bet good? I thought about calling and then check/raising the river, but that'd probably earn me the same as 3betting and then betting-out.

Whatcha think? Did I go too fast with the ~nuts heads-up?

No, this is perfectly fine.

Nh. If you'd whiffed on a c/r you'd have to kill yourself so this line is better.

Sorry. You're right; the question came up while reading hands after the session, but I knew the answer before I posted.

Interestingly enough, villian DID have QTs, he just had clubs, not spades.
