Re: Postflop play with AKs
For a second, I thought you were actually advocating folding here, and I was going to go bananas. However, reading it a little more carefully, you're advocating what I'm advocating, which is checking behind.
There's no point in betting here. QJ is the only draw out there at this point that he needs to be afraid of, and QJ probably bets if it's around, so I don't think we need to worry about it. So then we're in the ever popular "way ahead/way behind" scenario, and the best way to get paid here is to try and goad the opponent into betting for us. I'll check behind on the flop and again on the turn and let my betting come on the river; this plan possibly changes if another broadway comes, since then it is much more likely that my opponent made a good enough hand to call a turn bet or has picked up a draw that I need to make unattractive.
