AK - TP - 3-Way Pot
 

Ok, this was a weird hand for me. Not sure if the river bet was necessary. I was hoping if anyone had the 10 it was the shortstack and I might pick up a side-pot with the river bet.

Is this a fairly straight-forward pot, or could I have played it much better?

Re: AK - TP - 3-Way Pot
 

I'm lost in these spots as well. In a non 3-bet pot I would say it is normal up until the river when you should have checked behind but in this spot I think I might check behind on the turn to avoid committing myself. What do others think?

Re: AK - TP - 3-Way Pot
 

Flop and turn is standart and checking behind on the river is the best option, since rarely will you get paid by a weaker ace in a 3way pot there.

Apart from river play, it's standard.
