Hero's thinking

flop:

I thought he might have a draw (broadway or flush), AK, or a set when he reraised the flop. Most people just call with AK on the blind in my tables. I just called, hoping to reevaluate on the turn.

When he checked, I thought he still might have a draw, but I didn't really think he put me on a draw either, so he might be checking AK or a set. I checked behind, was determined to call a moderately sized bet on the river, in particular if draws miss.

On the river, 20 seems a bit too much to me, but he is single tabling and he might be bluffing with a missed draw. That said, 2/3 pot size bet is a bit too much to call anyway.

Opinions on flop, turn and river plays?

being this deep and in pos i bet fold the turn here a ton. u said it urself that villian is on a draw alot here. if he cr ur this deep on the turn u r busto. if he check calls u can fold if he fires n e river and if he check calls the turn then u can check behind on the river.

as played im sure while im at the table i call but i think it is a fold. AJ, AK and all sets play like this. and im assuming since u say villian wont 3 bet AK preflop in a 4 handed game then i cant see them lookin to bluff missed draws all that often on the river. looks like a fold to me

Most villains don't 3bet AA and AK on the blinds, mostly for trapping. This isn't a question of aggresivity, but more like a question of trickiness. I am not sure if cold calling preflop with AA and AK is really correlated with not betting draws, but it might be.

How much do you think I should bet the turn?

How much do you think I should call on the river? 1/2 pot? 1/3 pot?
