Reading villain's hand as AK is wishful rather than scientific. And, in any event, is AK calling a river bet? Maybe, but that is bad and spewing and I didn;t see a read proclaiming villain as maniac or even LAG. Look... if it walks like a duck...

Point is... to bet the river you need to be certain that he will call with AK, if that, indeed, is his holding.

If you bet the river are you folding to a raise?

I realize this passivity may be viewed as heresy, but, hey, I calls um likes I sees um.

What about the flop cap? Do you think we get a free card enough to justify it? I don't know what the math is on that, but I'd be surprised if, given the action, we get one very often.

Check.

There are 3 combinations of AA and 9 combinations of AK, so other things being equal AK is more likely. But other things are not equal. Only an uncommonly aggressive player takes this line with AK, while this is the way that most people will play AA, IMO. And to bet here you risk 2 to win 1.


Add in the (admittedly unlikely) chance that you're up against a better flush and I think the check is pretty easy.

I think checking is correct too. I think this concept...

is extremely important and something that is often overlooked. Since there's no chance you are going to fold to a raise (right?) then you have to be good here more than 66% of the time to make betting correct since villain is going to raise virtually 100% of the time with a better hand.

Devil's advocate: (not saying I disagree with you, because I don't)

Would a full house really try check raising here?

Of course.

I don't understand the bet/calling lines. This is a pretty easy check. He's not raising us with anything that we have beat.
