AK TPTK ... lets see how bad I can butcher this one
 

Villain is redgrape on pokerstars, runs at 21/15. He is 2+2 I think, if its the same guy.

He instachecked behind me on the turn.

Thoughts on the flop call, river bet, and what to do about the river are appreciated.

Villain floped set thats for sure. u cant fold on flop cause its just too weak. Villains QUICK turn check was nice cause ít looks like AQ. U must valuebet river, 60$ is nice. Villains river raise makes it obvious that he has trips. fold.

Re: AK TPTK ... lets see how bad I can butcher this one
 

he may see your river bet as an obvious bet/fold line as you look like you're trying to leave yourself enough behind to fold to a raise

you're losing close to always though without history, the way you played it i think you can fold the river. just keep in mind a bet like that looks like a thin vb and can easily be viewed as weakness.

Re: AK TPTK ... lets see how bad I can butcher this one
 

I have no idea why you'd bet that amount or really bet that river ever. He either has nothing or a set since it's hard for 2p2ers to reraise on the flop with a weaker A.

yeah this looks like a set all day. unless villain views you as a very very good player and you have a bunch of history with him, i would fold this quickly.

TPTK is usually hard to play oop after villain raises the flop.

just decide on the flop if you are felting it or not
