river action

What's your plan and why?

UTG is your 17/13 and seems solid player, Aggressino is 2.77/2.89/2.02 over 2k hands.

no reads on CO.

Checkraise.

what will you do if 3betted?

[ihardlyknowher]

I would think getting 2 bets in on this river is best. I would bet-call.

Its threeway to the flop (its says 4 players). You are a tight aggressive player, right? You'd correctly bet AK in this big pot on the QJX flop? What hand of yours caps a solid UTG raiser preflop from the BB and checks when the flop has a Q and a J in it? I suppose its possible you have AK on the flop, but it just looks like a slowplay to me. Just bet the flop.

What a strange hand. Your turn donk/three-bet should really scare him. You really do look like AK on the turn! You were limp on the flop and go nuts when broadway gets there. Yet he doesn't care. Sheesh. Does he have AK despite his flop action? After all, there are 16 combos of AK left and only 6 for JJ and TT.

Check-raising is too risky on the river, IMO. You'd have to call a three-bet. I would just bet and call a raise given that he doesn't look like AK on the flop, but his cap on the turn is a bit alarming.

This is exactly what I thought after he capped me on the turn. Despite knowing that I'm representing the nuts and my line very well looks like it the villain was not afraid to capp me on the turn.

So he was either looking for free showdown or was capping to fill up and was going to fold to a river bet, or he played AK extremly strange.

Anyhow I check/called the river after much thought, since I figured JJ/TT might possibly not call another bet and definently won't raise, while they would not miss a value bet.

Villain showed AKo.

but like the other posters mentioned I thought I had to put two bets on this river given villain's flop line, but the more I thought about it the check looked okay.
