Default Re: AKo hand, Please Comment

Hey Shill. I prefer checking your overcards in a 5 way pot here. The flop is a reasonably good one for you, rainbow and somewhat disconnected. But betting out doesn't really do well to fold hands in this large pot, and is paying off better hands (somebody will have some pair, and you are charging yourself by betting, especially if they raise your bet). If the pot was smaller or if it was 3 or 4 way, I'd be inclined to bet.

You would benefit greatly from a free card here if one was given, and you could possibly check raise the cutoff if it was checked to him and he bet, and would bet a draw here.

The way it went down, MP1 is aggressive postflop and will probably bet the turn again. I would love a checkraise here for value. If he is passive enough to check a jack here when the ace comes down, you need to bet.
