AKs...how do I play it?

[Mathieu]

I play it the same. Most of villains don't 3 bet this flop with QQ or less, and not many players will 3 bet KJ-KQ in this spot, so I think we are either splitting or behind. It's possible villain has a flush draw with AJs or AQs (at that point we don't know this combo is not possible), but he is more likely to have AK or AA. Once in a while he might show you an overplayed underpair, but in this case you don't mind keeping him in.

Those of you who have recommended to cap on the flop: is the main goal of this to avoid showing weakness or to raise for value? If you were to cap preflop and he bets the turn, should you just call down? If he checks, should you bet?

I'm just not sure there is a lot of value in it. Its pretty slim to me.

I'm calling down to his bet and I'm betting his check.
