playing AK heads up on paired board with flush draw
Party Poker 5/10 Limit Hold 'em 5 players
Villain has recently come to the table and is relatively passive. He occasionally bluffs on the flop, but hasn't gotten out of line on the turn or river. But this read is precarious, as it is only based on a 10 or so hands at this table. Is my bet on the turn standard? I should probably fold to a check raise on the turn against this opponent, but how do you play this hand against an unknown if faced with a check raise on the turn? What if I am bet into on the river; should I call with AK high? Thanks for input! 5 Handed. Villain limps UTG. Folded to Hero on button who raises with A [img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img] K [img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img]. Blinds fold.

Re: playing AK heads up on paired board with flush draw
I like the bet on the Turn...and I like your thoughts about folding to a check-raise on the Turn.
On the River, man, its tough. Will he call with a worse Ace? Will he fold with a pair of 4s or 3s? Is he a guy to plan a check-raise on the River with a flush? A tough decision like this probably means its equal between checking and betting. But I would lean towards betting (with the intention of folding to a check-raise), although I'm willing to be swayed otherwise.

Re: playing AK heads up on paired board with flush draw
I don't think anyone at this limit will lay down a 3 or 4 on that board if they're calling the flop and turn. Only decision is if he has AQ (not likely), AT-A6 and will call the river if you bet. I don't see this happening all that much given the post so I would check behind as well.

Re: playing AK heads up on paired board with flush draw
I think its unlikely for them to lay down a 3 or 4 too (but still possible). However, since the opponent hasn't bet or raised at all, I think it reduces the chances he has a pair.
