Default Re: AK ragged board

I cap with AKo unless I'm against someone who only raises with AA or KK...which is never.

I'd go ahead and bet that turn card and thats probably the last cent I'd put in that pot.

I'm a fan of betting the turn and checking the river for a showdown if you can get it though.

Advantages:
-you maintain the betting lead
-you don't give any free cards
-it costs the same as checking the turn and calling the river
-with position, you can show down your A high hands as cheaply as possible
-you defend against river check-raises.

Disadvantages:
-in betting the turn, you'll get check-raised some of the time, but you should be able to fold if this happens.
