Default Re: AK problem on the flop...

You really need to be reading your opponents to play this one correctly. Could they be playing a draw? If so, I check-raise on the turn (basically a semi-bluff). If no, then what you are getting for implied odds on the river should dicate your decision on the turn. I know its generally unpopular but I think a check on the turn is the right move and it becomes a check-raise or check-fold depending on your best read of situation (plus you may get to see the river for free if your opponent simply checks, which would be a mistake on their part). Finally, consider though that your betting pattern is suggestive of A-K or A-Q, and your opponent is likely have you on that range of hand. If they are a strong player, you likely want to let this hand go.
