Default Re: i\'m a lag?

Please don't bet this river.

Your opponent is very rarely calling with a worse hand.

Your options are:

1. Check with the intent of calling if you think your opponent is capable of bluffing a missed draw/A high here.

2. Check with the intent of folding against a passive opponent.

Betting AK unimproved out of position on the river is one of those things that many poker authors universally recognize to be a mistake (commonly made by many players). Your hand is a very borderline hand; it's like the worst hand possible you could conceivably be betting all the way down, and hence anyone calling on the river usually has you beat.
