Default AKs on the button. ($5 rebuy)

Heres a little bit of background. I was moved to the table about 5 minutes ago, so i have no reads.

Villain1 and i just got into a mini SB/BB hand, which i took down. When he called preflop, i didnt really fear a huge pair...but couldnt put him on a hand. I thought JJ/1010 were VERY possible. I have zero read on MP1.

I think checking this flop is a must, but what about the turn? Do you bet/push/check? I had so many river outs, that a reraise would make me puke...A LOT. So tell me what you think.

C-bet the flop. All you know is that they called a raise, so JJ/TT is way too narrow a range. If they come over the top, THEN you have some idea of their holdings.

No way they check through the turn if they caught a piece of the flop. Betting is fine, but so is checking, simply because there are so many outs, and it may allow you to snap off a river bluff if a diamond falls. AKs is lovely, but realize that at this point you have ace-high and some nice draws.

Four outs to the nuts, 6 other outs to a very nice nut flush, 2 more to a decent nut flush, and 6 more outs to top pair when no one has shown aggression postflop. This is a good check, but I usually c-bet the flop.

Unfortunately, I'd bet a huge amount that Villain1 is going to push this river, and you're going to fold like a pansy. [img]/images/graemlins/smile.gif[/img]
