Re: AKo passssssive. kinda
hand ranges of villian's three-bet preflop real quick: AA-88/77ish? AK, AQ?
on flop, he only calls. would he slowplay AA/QQ/JJ? maybe, but i mean, it's such a scary broadway board, does he really want to give you an easy shot at a gutshot? does he float with TT/99/88/77? does he just call with AK? now THIS i can very much see. does he only call with AQ? maybe, but that's similar to slowplaying AA/QQ/JJ.
turn is a blank. if he has TT-77, he's probably folding to a bet, so that has no value (there's not really much to protect against those). if he has AA/QQ/JJ, you're probably getting raised here, and folding here is obviously correct. if he has AK, he MIGHT fold this turn, no? at the worst, he calls and you can probably check/call the river. if he has AQ, similar to a set, he's probably raising, but he might fear a set also and just call.
overall, if you think he three-bets 77/88 here and maybe worse, i like the turn check more. but the tighter his three-betting range, the more and more i like bet/folding the turn and check/calling the river if he calls.
