Couldn't get myself to raise it PF out of 'fear' being OOP with AK again, expected him to call. Checked on flop to try and c/r, when I think about it that was just stupid. Should have bet to see if I had the best hand, which I probably had. Did turn bet to atleast get some value. Riverbet was half pot for value/blocking purposes. As soon as he reraised that weird amount I feared a flush and folded. Think I should have just called with the odds I got.
I guess I found my own mistakes by posting this, but some comments on it would be nice.

Thx.

RR pf. As played lead flop. C/c river beacuse he will bluff a lot.

Agreed. The other reason to c/c is because he could have hit that card (as it brings 4-to-straight and a flush). If you c/c you lose less when beat and allow worse hands to bluff.

you guys really call a psb on the river?!

Re: Played AK to weak?
 

WTF, reraise him PF as much as you think he'll call.
As played, bet flop, call river.
You have to call this river, because
a) he's a donkey and will bluff here often
b) we underrepresented our hand IMO

Re: Played AK to weak?
 

Okey, thx for the remarks, played it like a donk as I already reasoned.

Re: Played AK to weak?
 

You need to pump it more PF, make him pay to play with hands like AJ or 87s.

On the flop you should take the lead and bet.

But please, RERAISE preflop.

Re: Played AK to weak?
 

Wow dude, bet the flop!

Re: Played AK to weak?
 

Remember the reason for raising this PF is for value, not to fold him out. You are so far ahead of his range, pump up the pot a bit, he'll pay you off more often than not.

You also want to isolate. I do it 100% of the time unless the guy has stats like 5/2 over 10123412 hands.

Re: Played AK to weak?
 

Hm. If that is a c/r gone bad on the flop, I forgive you.
The river card is very ugly since it puts four cards to a straight on the board too. The problem is, that your villain plays completely unreasonably when his stats are anywhere near a good sample. But you are behind a lot of hands. What hands do you beat? KQ, KJ, KT, A8 and pure air. That's about it. Since you hold a K and there is a K on the board, I think your equity looks pretty grim. You only need 20% equity to break even. So it depends mostly on the "air" portion of his range.
I don't mind a fold. A call is probably very close here.
