Re: .5/1 AK mega draw
[ QUOTE ]
Busted draws will usually check behind at these stakes against players who fired twice. [/ QUOTE ] I agree, but busted draws who happen to pair will likely fold to a bet (and those who don't pair will fold as well). This is read dependent though, river betting into a call station here is a bad idea, as he'll likely call with a small pair, but a decent player will often fold a hand that would beat an unimproved AK.

Re: .5/1 AK mega draw
Against a single button or SB limp, checking this is fine occasionally. Against several limpers, you need to raise. Get money in while you're ahead, cut out some of the competition, get yourself some fold equity for later in the hand if you need it.
Given the check, the rest of the hand is fine.

Re: .5/1 AK mega draw
Definite raise preflop, and that changes the entire aspect of the hand. With the hand unraised prelop there is no need to go nutso with the big draw.
Postflop I think your play is fine, but I am curious to know how you would play an offsuit ace or king on the turn.

Re: .5/1 AK mega draw
Bet again on the turn. Very very basic example of where it's better to bet yourself if you were planning to call a bet anyway. You have collected a complete brick on the turn which means you will rarely get raised.

I wasn't sure how much I need to bet to make this guy fold a pair though, so I thought he would end up betting less than my 2nd barrel. Nevertheless, betting is still better as long as we some fold equity, correct?

Re: .5/1 AK mega draw
I'm usually not betting there trying to make hands fold; I'd bet there to give myself a nice price to draw at a lot of outs and disguise my hand in the process. The fact that he will fold sometimes is just a bonus.
