Default Re: AKo, top pair, facing aggression

Once you get to the river, it's a fold IMO. But I think folding the turn is the best way to go.

OK. You're getting 19:2 or 9.5:1 on this turn call. One problem is that UTG caps this a decent percentage of the time after waking up here, I think. I think you're up against KT, K7, or QT a good portion of the time here, though, leaving you drawing somewhat live. Also J9 or AJ. The problem is that even if you're up against KT, someone with a lone jack is out there quite a bit and thus you're drawing to the other three jacks. Another problem is that your straight will often be split, and aces and kings will often already be beaten by a straight. I'd give you about 2-3 outs here so I would fold.
