This line was very weird to me in game, I just couldn't put him on a hand at all. So I basically thought that my hand looks exactly like AK and I'm pretty sure he knows this so he was letting me catch up on flop/turn, then he knows I will v-bet river and shoves with a set (which he can slowplay from previous hand).

The only other thing I can think of is he also has AK and is trying to push me off the same hand. What do you put villain on and do you call river.

Thanks.

You're ahead just about never on this river. Well played.

ya good fold, also your bet sizing is off in the first hand and the 3bet pre in the second hand, you need to bet closer to pot.

raise more PF!
bet flop.
river is whatever. you only lose to 99. he prob shoved you off a split

Re: PS NL100: AK facing river CRAI from TAG
 

looks like 99 knowing you'll bet the K a decent amount of the time. I'd rather bet like 40% of the pot/3-bet here w/ 99 though.
