make it 5 to go preflop.

as played, flop is ok, i bet here sometimes since they have shown no interest after preflop.

Turn is a raise for sure

river is a call for sure.

Re: NL25 - AKs facing riverbet
 

Thing is though, on turn: if I raise, what am I getting called with that I beat? I see no hands I beat calling; at best I'm meeting another AK and will tie the pot. When the J then hit the river and he bets out light, I'm thinking he's either got air (which is unlikely since he 3bet PF), or a monster he's been slow playing.

Re: NL25 - AKs facing riverbet
 

I would play every street different except the flop.

Preflop: Reraise, UTG is so short, try to get him all-in. MP's preflop raise is small, he's likely isolating with something mediocre. You have position.

Flop: Looks good as played.

Turn: I would raise. I would hate to let a T draw cheap, or any 5 outer.

River: We could still be good or splitting here and the bet is small so I call.

Raise PF, if you are HU on flop c-bet, raise turn for sure.

You must re-raise this PF.

Re: NL25 - AKs facing riverbet
