Default AKs hand. This probably applies to a lot of concepts.

I'm in the CO with AKs. One loose limper, and I raise to 5x the blind. This is early on in the tournament, stacks are 1000 chips deep roughly (mine is about 1200, his is about 900) and blinds are 10/20.

Folds to him and he calls the raise.

Flop is JJK two-tone.

He checks. I bet 2/3 the pot. He calls.

So the pot now is about 400 chips.

Turn is an A, giving me 2pr, not putting a 3-flush on the board.

What is my move?

I don't think I can check here. The free card could kill me.

So I have to bet. How much do I bet? My stack has about 1000 chips, the pot is about 400 chips, and his stack is about 600 chips.

I like to put him all-in here and make him pay off with his K or turned ace-rag, and at the same time kill his flush odds. I'm happy to take the pot down if he folds. But I'm in trouble if he is slowplaying the Jx.

What's your move?
