Default 50/100 AK vs possible straight and flush

20 hands on the villian, so he is basically unknown but seems tight so far. This is the first time I've seen him cold call pf, I haven't seen him go to showdown yet. This is probably boring and standard, but I want to make sure. Button in the hand sucks and is loose.

50/100 Hold'em <font color="#0000FF">(10 handed)</font>

Preflop: Hero is UTG with A[img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img], K[img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img].
<font color="#CC3333">Hero raises</font>, <font color="#666666">5 folds</font>, CO calls, Button calls, SB calls, <font color="#666666">1 folds</font>.

Flop: (9.00 SB) A[img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img], Q[img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img], 2[img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img] <font color="#0000FF">(4 players)</font>
SB checks, <font color="#CC3333">Hero bets</font>, <font color="#CC3333">CO raises</font>, Button folds, SB folds, <font color="#CC3333">Hero 3-bets</font>, CO calls.

Turn: (7.50 BB) K[img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img] <font color="#0000FF">(2 players)</font>
<font color="#CC3333">Hero bets</font>, <font color="#CC3333">CO raises</font>, Hero calls.

River: (11.50 BB) 8[img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img] <font color="#0000FF">(2 players)</font>
Hero ???

You should 3bet the turn and go from there.

I say thats a really easy 3-bet on the turn there. What do you think you're behind to? I also see no reason to fear that diamond on the river. It would really suck to have your opponent check behind here. I still think you have the best hand here far too often. Given that you didnt 3-bet the turn I'd just lead the river. My preference for this hand however, is to 3-bet the turn and lead the river (assuming of course that he dosent cap).

i like just calling down after the turn raise, cause JTs seems quite likely... why would AQ raise the turn here after K comes?

Could be being cute. Also, though we don't have much of a read to go on, this seems like a really bad board for a gutshot JT to raise, unless he has specifically JT [img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img]. In any case KQ/AQ are very possible too, and given the flop raise more likely.

Even though he OP says he had 20 hands, also said seems tight, JTs doesn't fall into that category for me.

I'd go a 3 bet on turn, if he calls, check/call river. If he doesn't, bet/call river.

I don't see you losing to anything other than Ks or Qs. I think before these AQ or AK are more likely. I'm feeling AK.

JTs doesn't seem likely to me at all. You think JT frequently raises the flop like that? The only better hand that seems likely at all is 22, so I think this is an easy turn 3-bet.
