Default Re: NL25: AKu, top pair (vs. 3/4 pot river bet )

[ QUOTE ]
I like the preflop 3bet and the cbet. The board's not totally threatening and I find 2/3 pot to be a nice size. I might actually check the turn here to see how villain responds to the A. As played, his call is a bit unnerving. On the river, I think you have to fold. Most of the hands you were ahead of, just passed you (AQ/QJ FD's). By calling, you're hoping he has KQ/KJ or AT, (or a PP) and I really can't see those hands betting like this on the river.

In general, playing AK out of position is a pain in the ass. lol When I'm in that situation, I'm apt to check either the flop or the turn, depending on the board texture and villain.
