AK calls down vs. pot shooter

Villain has check-raised a LOT of turns with varying strength hands (from rags, to draws, to monsters)

overall, he is 31/7/2.75 (9.5 on the turn).

I felt there was a very good chance my AK was good unimproved, but didn't want to pay 3 BB to see...

Checky McRaiserton is probably the best name for a villain I've ever seen. With an turn AF of 9.5, I'm calling down with AK heads up.

I like it. In some circumstances if my read is *that* good on him, I'd bet the turn hoping he checkraises me with crap [img]/images/graemlins/smile.gif[/img]. But with the QJ out there, I'd like to see a cheap showdown instead.

I'd play it exactly the same. Very nice hand

Good hand, btw I'm stealing the term checkymcraiserton for future posts.

TY, villain shows KTo, MHIG. I would certainly have gotten CR'ed and faced an ugly decision.

Feel free to appropriate the term. So long as I don't see myself referred to as 'Poohy von Tiltenstein' or the like...
