Re: AK .25/.50
when you call the river bet, you are really hoping he is a dumb bluffer. The best you are probably looking at is a chop, and this isn't often enough.

I'm assuming you have reads that this guy is too aggro for his own good and might go nuts with AQ or AJ?

Re: AK .25/.50
My statement translates to: "You forgot about reads."
If the guy is a maniac the calldown makes sense. If the guy is a rock then you're throwing away bets. If it was unknown it'd be somewhere in the middle. |

Re: AK .25/.50
I dont know what I was thinking to be honest, he was an unknown.
I 3-bet preflop because it seems like I should 3bet with AK. I raised the flop to isolate and possibly catch a free river. Turn I called because I figure I still have outs, and river I called only because I thought I had showdown value which doesnt make sense when all I beat is a bluff, but pot odds were good? |

[/ QUOTE ] Pot odds are good on the river if you think he's bluffing 1 in ~9 times. I'm don't think you are since this looks like an overpair to me. Since the pot got big, the turn call is good though. |

When he donks the turn he says "I like my JJ" or whatever, so you are calling based on 6 outs. This is correct assuming he has QQ or less. We would expect him to cap AA/KK preflop and even be more aggressive on this flop. Buzz |

Re: AK .25/.50
I don't raise this flop.
Depending on the villain, the turn card, and whether BB calls, I might raise the turn for a free showdown. |
