Re: Common Situation: AKo overcard play
I bet that because of a few reasons. It is very possible that we have the best hand. If we are C/R'ed its not the end of the world, as we are getting at least 14:1 with ~3 outs. At least in the lower limits, if you are not C/R'ed you will often buy yourself a free look at the river (though this is probably a little less likely at 10/20). Also, getting a fold or two would be nice, though maybe again unlikely with a pot that size.

I'd prefer to check this flop and take a free turn. My default on a rag board is to bet a naked AK with up to 2 opponents, and check with 3 or more opponents. |

Re: Common Situation: AKo overcard play
I could be way off but I am betting the flop, because like preflop I think I am ahead. I am paying really close attention to any callers. If I am check raised I think I call, fold turn unimproved.

Re: Common Situation: AKo overcard play
If I bet or check here depend alot on how often I expect to get CR on the flop. This being the aggro 10/20 I expect this flop to be CR alot hence I check here perhaps 70% of the time...
If I was in control of the table and was fairly sure i wouldn´t be CR and also checked to on the turn I would bet here alot more. This holds true also if I had some kind of backdoor draw,say three clubs to go along with my big overcards |

4 handed in the 10/20 game, I'm checking this flop. I think you are going to get check raised a ton and your bet is likely to get rid of nobody.

I think if the pf raiser bets this flop you have to raise/cr them just on principle. [img]/images/graemlins/laugh.gif[/img] |

Re: Common Situation: AKo overcard play
Sometimes I bet; often I check. With the aggro PFR on your immediate right, I think I prefer checking.

Re: Common Situation: AKo overcard play
I bet these flops almost always, for free fourth street/river reasons. It doesn't work every time, but a good amount of the time against 3-4 players, if you have last action and were the preflop 3-bettor/capper, a flop bet will get you checked to on the turn.
