Re: AK suited, too passive?
[ QUOTE ]
I tend to agree here. If you don't bet the flop, what kind of position are you in if he leads out on the turn? If you bet the flop, then he donks the turn, it seems like a safe laydown to me.
What do you do if you bet/check, then he leads out on the river?
I'm guessing call down, especially given that board, but just want to make sure, as I haven't played in over a month.

The short answer is "play poker." This is a situation where you need to put on a good read, and act accordingly. In general, when you check behind with AK on the turn you need to prepared to call the river quite liberally, though the pre-flop action makes that a bit less applicable here. I think one should basically go in with the approach of "calling until proven otherwise." There are already almost 10 BB in the pot; half of that is an amount you don't want to forgo.
