Re: AK and bleeding chips on river
I think you played this correctly with no real draws on the board. Call down and avoid starting a fight with someone who is likely to have a better hand and knows it. It isn't easy to outplay someone who can correctly guess your hand so minimize his options. If he is going crazy with a lesser king you don't lose much by letting him bet your hand for you instead of warning him with a cap. This also keeps MP1 safely in the pot and donating with his likely near-dead hand. It really hurts that you have so few outs against likely Button hands.
The river is a potential miracle because it kills all two-pair flops. This is certainly no time to get out of the hand especially since MP1 declined to 3-bet as he might have done with real trips. That would have been a real problem for you.
