AKs EP, pick up draw on turn, empire 55r

[bruce]

You are destined to win this hand b/c of villian's poor play. I'd be a wee bit surprised to see KJ calling a raise, but it certainly is not shocking. There are many
ways you could have played this hand. I think we're splitting hairs about the size of the flop bet. Who cares if you bet T75 more or less? Why would you want to checkraise all in on the turn with a draw? Your draw is not as big as it appears. You have a flush draw with three straight draws.
Even not knowing your opponents hand, no one could really
count an Ace or King as a clean out. So you have twelve
outs with one card to come. That's not exactly a monster draw in my book even with two cards to come. When villian
miniraises this usually suggest he has nothing or mostly a fairly big hand, which in fact is what he had.

I think the most interesting question would be if we had
an intelligent villian. How would you respond if he pushed on the turn? Now you're in the pickle jar.
