Default Is this ever not the nuts?

49/9/1.1 over 43. Didn't seem too aggressive, if he pussychecks the flop with a pocket pair I'd expect him to calldown. So... does AK ever play like this?

If you are asking what to do with 88 in this spot I am pretty sure I check behind. By the river I berate him in the chat when he shows me AA and I go watch reruns of "Sex and the City" with my girlfriend when he shows me 77 or AK.

Are you thinking about folding your AK or 88 here? 43 hands isn't enough to convince villain doesn't have a bit of spewey retard in him. You're probably against AA, but I call down.

Oops, didn't notice the turn check. I suppose he's trying to pwn you with AA. I probably can't bring myself to check 88 here. AK, sure I suppose. (Though at the table I would have a hard time checing this as well.)

I guess I meant what is the worst hand you bet. FWIW My hand was 88.

Ok, sorry for ruining your thread...

For starters I doubt he is cold capping AK in the first place. Second, his line is such bs. I seriously insta check behind 88 here figuring I only miss value from the times he does have AK (rarely) or is tilt/spewing away money with KK or just crap (less rarely). He doesnt have 77

A8 or better I bet the turn, otherwise I just check behind and call on the river, with a set of 8s I like him to c/r but would probably call down after that... If he had bet out on the turn, I would raise and only be scared of AA if he 3 bets. your read is only a few hands, but anyone who has a 49vpip is a monkey in my book until proven otherwise so I would push my edges, and second set is good enough I believe to show a profit here.

I think Oink is right on the money. Makes me wrong about his ability to read players, however, I have no idea what makes him think I'm a troll.
