Re: AK oddity
the Q is the only river i am checking. i will bet if any other card in the deck falls.
he obviously has an ace after he calls my turn 3-bet. he has AK, AQ, or maybe AJ. AQ is more likely than AJ because of his preflop 3-bet. so now that the worst card ever falls on the river, i check call because i hope he has AK. if he has AQ, he's going to raise (and i will want to call). if he has AK, there's no value in a bet anyway. if he has AJ, he still may value bet anyway.
if someone wanted to do some math, we could figure out how often he needs to have AJ (and not bet the river) compared to having AQ/AK here for a bet to be correct. i bet the number would seem unrealistic.
