NL 25 AK hits TP
 

Do you like this line vs an unknown on a board like this?
His flop raise kan mean a lot on a board like this in my opinion:
- low PP
- Weaker K
- 6x but prob not I think a lot of villians will just call with that here but it's def in his range.

So I wanted to gain max value from lower PP and weaker K hands.

Re: NL 25 AK hits TP
 

I do not like. Isn't QK in his range? I'd reraise on the flop.

Re: NL 25 AK hits TP
 

Yes it is but also KJ KT assuming.
Why would we want to reraise on the flop? do you think any K will still pay us off if we do this?

Re: NL 25 AK hits TP
 

Bet 2 on the flop, and you're probably looking to stack off here. I don't like your line because it just gives him the chance to improve

yes true, but do weaker K's stack off here if we raise. I'm worried only better hands will call and we lose value from weaker hands.

KQ/KJ will pay you all day here.

Re: NL 25 AK hits TP
 

Just bet on the flop, if he has a K he will often pay you on turn/river.

Re: NL 25 AK hits TP
 

He might think your flop bet was a bit weak, hence the raise ("do you like your hand, cuz I'm confused?"). His turn bet seems weak, which can basically mean anything from "I has two pair/TPNK" to: "I has nothing".

Assuming he coldcalls with
AJ+, KJ+ and AA - 99, you split 16 hands (AK), beat 34 hands (AQ, AJ, KJ) and lose against 50 hands (AA, KK, QQ, KQ). If you count the splits as a success, that's 50/50.

If he likes to coldcall with SC's as low as 76s, you're basically toast.

Actually there's a good chance you're behind here, I think. Most players at low levels don't raise flops lightly against preflop raisers. Which means your fold equity is also zero. It doesn't look good.

I think you have to repop this flop. THEN you get paid from Kx. Once he goes all in on the turn you should toss it. I think you see AA, KK or KQ here way to often for this to be porfitable. I just don't think you get enough donks doing this with Kx to make it profitable. IMO.

Even the most nitty and stupid players will min re-raise AA and KK so i think we can safely disregard those two hands from his range. AJ-KJ seems like a large part of his range. We win against one of those hands and split against the other 2. This seems like a classic WA/WB situation. I think its either c/f or c/c on the turn and see what he does on the river if you c/c.
