Re: [theory]cbet AK after reraising

this is actually one of those flops i wouldnt mind checking.

its unlikely he'll fold his TT or whatever. that flop hit alot of his range. i like checking in position and probably giving up.

I prefer to bet here IP or OOP about 80-90% of the time.

Imo you must bet this often even if it did hit part of villains range so that a) your hand doesn't look so transparent and b)for when you do have big pairs/sets you want to ensure people play with you when they have 9T and hit top pair hands or A8 and such.

My game requires that I cbet a large % of the time regardless of the flop because I bet almost all of my missed hands as well as my monsters.

For along time I 3bet AK pre no matter what, however i've been trying to pin point the fish that will go broke with worse aces when they hit the ace and have been trying to call pre with it hoping to get their stack on the flop. (Only when In position) I always 3 bet AK oop.

In this specific situation, I would shove turn given he could have JT, or 2 diamonds pretty easily. He only has 1/2 pot left. I think your AK is good here way more then 1/3 of the time.
