No action

This hand is definitely one of my leaks -- I don't know if I should slow play and play the hand to extract, or play it like how I play all my other hands -- never slow playing and bet-sizing like I do whether I have the nuts or nothing.

No specific reads on villain besides his stats, which were 24/7 over 80 hands. His flop check indicates to me AK, and when the Ace hits, I raise to $4 because most uNL players will call that with AK and their TPTK combo hits. Should I smooth call with the plan to raise the river?

And if it means anything, he waited a bit before folding -- about 25 seconds. [img]/images/graemlins/ooo.gif[/img]

Don't check the flop just bet out, if they all fold it wasn't like you'd make much money and you might lose a lot if someone makes a flush or a straight.
