Default Re: Embarrassed by how I played this AKs

1. cap this preflop... you have position, and it is suited

2. raise the flop for value... you have 9 outs to a likely winner, and 6 overcards that could be good given this board.

3. between being 4:1 to make the flush on the next card, and the possibility that you may be cleaning up some outs like getting an AQ to fold, the turn bet is thin for value but okay generally.

4. i check the river 100% of the time here. if you are betting these rivers in multiway pots against opponents who have consistently been calling down in the face of your aggression, you have a leak. bob ciaffone has the right view on AK unimproved... it's basically a bluff catcher hand.
