Would you value bet AK like this here, I think it'd be a good value bet with AK, but I don't see a lot of people doing it. I'm not even sure why you bet this flop into that many opponents. I'd either just open push the flop or c/r the flop allin.

I know you are serious here, but open pushing the flop for 3k in a 440 pot is pretty retarded. Just so you know.

Your 50/50 vs AQ so whatever, AAA isn't too likely, so only hands to worry about is QQQ and 999.....assuming he has the set WITH one of your hearts, you're still 41% to win the pot. I really doubt AK looks you up to an open push. Anyone that says this play is retarded please come sit at my table and good luck making marginal calls vs me when I open push the goods assholes.

been there, done that.

maybe it works against other people though.

It's just pointless. You can bet the pot/follow the turn and win the pot against marginal aces and things just as easily. You don't need to go all in to make people fold, and you don't hate it if the action goes bet, someone raise, you push. I've seen your open push routine and am thoroughly unimpressed by it. You need to take pot size into account, and evaluate the risk/reward scenarios of pushing 3k into 400 or making regular sized bets and playing poker afterwards.

I like to give up this river. Unless you are a very tough player and buddy knows it, you are likely not value betting just an ace here, and you are also likely not holding just a queen. I think if I'm bbuddy with an ace, I'm thinking that if I call you will either show me AQ or a missed draw, because its just not that likely that you'd lead the flop into that many people with a queen, and its also unlikely you'd be value betting an ace. A better line is to pot the turn, that will put him in a very tricky spot, assuming he didnt flop huge.

He is more likely to see you as unknown than a nutpeddler if you haven't gotten into any big confrontations with him. He plays so many tables that I suspect this is the case.

Strassa is on the right track when he says the fold equity is on the turn. His line would be a lot better, however, if the stacks were deeper. Here, there is no threat of a pot-sized river bet.
