Now this is actually good play here.

Your obv. going for a c/c on river.
Also you might value bet the river, and fold to a shove.
But I dont see anything wrong with your line.

Re: FT200 AK line check 150bbs

bump?

Re: FT200 AK line check 150bbs
 

I like 4betting pf but as played c/c riv.
You could also lead turn and c/c riv

Re: FT200 AK line check 150bbs
 

not enought deep to flatcall PF. 4b this please.
as played depends on your image but id check and call river.

Re: FT200 AK line check 150bbs
 

I like c/c, Villain seems quite aggressive, and given your line you could have a small - medium PP, which alot of villains 3-bet range will now think there is some value to bet on river.

Additional argument for checking:
There are also not very many busted draws you could have, thus helping villain call, 2 flush busted would be best, villain won't even bother considering you having JT, so really no busted draws out there?

Your opponent knows that YOUR range is going to be 99% AK here, and he's not going to make a mistake. Hope you have some sort of read on him besides PT numbers. I would often 4-bet preflop, donk the turn, or something along those lines. I just don't like taking lines that make it almost impossible for your opponents to make a mistake.

If check raising flops with big paint on them against guys who 3-bet light is a part of your game, then check raising the flop is also an option. Of course if that's not a part of your game then that would completely suck in this spot. Donking the flop is also an interesting option.

dont like donking this flop.

This is a really good point. I mean are you peeling flop w/ TT/JJ? Probably not. And you're probably dumping KQ/AQ pre...so this really only leaves AK. If he's any good at hand-reading he's never value-betting river w/ worse. So if/when he bets, it's either AA, sometimes a tricky played QQQ, or air. And how many air hands is he 3-betting your UTG raise w/ anyways?

Unless he's really spewy, I think in theory, c/f is best w/ your image.
