Be a hero?

Not sure why I'm posting this as I know everyone is gonna say "easy fold." This hand is vs redgrape. A 2p2er and strong TAG. I believe that my hand is incredibly transparent as AK. Although I missed it at the time, redgrape even said in the chat "you have AK." I mean I just don't see anything I play like this besides AK. On the river he bet 2x the pot, he's either doing this because he knows I can't call that, or he wants me to think that he is trying to push me off, and convince me to call with a weak hand. The river decision is probably just a "he knows i know he knows.." situation. I'm probably getting too deep into this, but whatever.

Interesting. I don't like the way you played it preflop or on the flop but interesting setup from the paragraph above. Yes you must fold.

I don't like the call since your hand is so transparent and he can bluff you here with close to perfect frequency to make hero calls here unprofitable. Just muck.

When I do this it's with the intent of getting the opponent to fold because I know he has a weak hand.

That said the fact that he said "you have AK" in the chat makes this a fold. People don't like to [censored] around with chatting when they are bluffing, only when they want a call.

Easy Fold.

Seriously this is a boat 90% of the time and 77 10% of the time.

Don't check da flop.

He posts here so maybe he will chime in.

I haven't played much against him, but when I have he has played a very TAG game. Rarely gets out of line and doesn't ever spew. I think this is a fold.

I think it's a fold if you merely look at preflop. I don't think he is raising UTG and calling a large reraise without a pair, and maybe AQs. You are way to deep for him c/r AI bluff if he puts you on a squeeze and any other hand has terrible reverse implied odds OOP this deep.

Yeah I think he almost always has a pair of somekind when he flat calls the reraise preflop.
