Default Re: WA/WB with AKo, not my usual line

[ QUOTE ]
If this isn't your usual line, what is? This is definitely a play I use almost every time. There's no real scary draws on the flop, and on the turn you look fine.

Looks OK to me, though I may bet the river and call a raise instead. If I only had TPTK, then I'd check-call for sure.

I'll usually either lead the turn and fold to a raise or make a bet on the river once the turn is checked through. Some opponents will pay off with a weaker ace if the turn is checked through since they think that I think my QQ is good due to them not betting the turn.

I didn't raise the river because a full pot bet is, in my experience, either a very strong hand or nothing and I'd rather see what he played that way when I'm ahead than raise and not get that information. I lose value against worse two pairs that will pay off a raise but I think I will see a bluff or a set a high percentage of the time.
