Re: 10NL AK, how do I cbet shorties?
I wouldn't necessarily count your A and K as clean outs. He could have AJ or KJ or AT or some crap like that, where your top pair would still be beat.
I cbet this spot basically always. What determines whether I'm calling a shove is my read on the opponent in this spot. How often he folds to flop bet, how aggressive he is in general, how often does he go to showdown are stats I would consider. I wouldn't say that calling shove here is bad. It might not be more EV than folding, but quite often I'd call shove.
Either way, he isn't that short, and I think your cbet will take it down often enough where cbetting here is a must IMO. If he just calls cbet, I probably push any non spade & non 9 turn.
