thanks for your insight.

Re: AK in 3-way 3-bet pot
 

They guy who 3-betted is pretty passive, so I see why you would check the flop.

As played it looks alot like JJ/ a very strong hand. He doesn't mind that there is someone behind him to act yet he is still raising.

I think its a good fold.

ok sorry, you hit a reasonable flop with a flush draw and check, it looks passive then when you lead out on turn and fold to an AI like scouts says what were you intentions on the flop?

you should be more inclined to bet if he's passive. the reason being that this is a great board to cbet, if he's agro he's cbetting a large % of his range, and you have good relative position. however, he's probably only going to bet hands that have you beat here, i'd rather take control of the hand. It is a drawy board after all and the 32/2 guy could be in here with a hand like JhTh.


As played good turn fold.

Re: AK in 3-way 3-bet pot
 

I think the hand is played well.

Based on CO's stats I'm inclined to put him on a pretty solid/honest reraising AK/JJ+ range. On the turn we're ahead of QQ and chopping with AK, neither of which he'd likely raise so I think the turn fold is standard.

Definitely have to bet the turn to protect your hand though. The pot is very large, a lot of draws are out, and there's still two players in the pot. It also looks like CO is going to fold and to question your bet after he raises is pretty results oriented IMO. Finally, you can extract some value from a donkish looking BB.
