Re: AK river bluff

You wouldn't bet this if it were just the EP player (who raised preflop) check calling you?

In most cases, I'm not betting this HU. The reason to bet is because you think villain will play AK this way (no preflop cap small pot, check-call flop and turn with no pair) AND you think he is aggressive enough to bet a pair like 99 or KT *somewhere* in this hand. In this very specific case, you win the extra half pot from villain when he folds his AK. In every other case, it doesn't matter.
But I would like to have the reason to bet before I bet it. I would rather showdown this hand for free because my hand does not have showdown value if I'm called. I also want to know what hand villain raised UTG+1.
(I'm much more inclined to bet KQs on the river than AK.)
