AK gross board

[Profish2285]

I feel like I butchered this hand but Im really not sure. I figured the turn was a gross card which is why I checked but in retrospect, b/f could have been best. The fact that I checked the turn made me want to call this river bet but again, I dont know. Villain runs at 30/4/0.52

I don't think the turn card is very gross at all unless he was drawing to a gutshot. I would be split on betting/checking the turn and probably lead towards checking since his AF is high. The only way you can butcher this hand is by folding on the river. Your hand is very underrepresented and played well to this point I might add. Easy call

pretty easy river call, don't think that you played it bad given how aggro your opponent is. You gave him ample chances to bluff/value-bet his hand which you are most likely ahead of.

[Profish2285]

Sorry I mis typed the villain's AF, its actually much much lower.

[slush420]

ok if his AF is that low, bet/fold on the turn is definitely the way to go.

[Profish2285]

I guess my reasoning was bad but I figured this was a bad turn card because he is reasonably loose. He probably could have hit the straight or two pair with that card.

Yep, call on end....your line, in the villians eyes, is that you've made a preflop raise and standard continuation bet, and then locked down. You've gave him a chance to value bet/bluff, you beat those holdings.

Probably should of bet turn...say $9. Would of gave you more information on where you stand.
