100NL: AKs flops top 2, like this line?

[HebbNH]

Villain is 20/3 over ~100 hands. I don't raise the flop because I don't want to scare weaker Aces away, check behind on turn to induce a bluff or get weak Aces to bet. Do you like this line? Should I raise the river? Thanks.

definitely raise the river, what could the villain have that beats you , A5?

Love the turn check to induce the bluff with a worse hand. You got it, now pump that river to at least 25.



good board to do this. Not many draws to anything that beats your top two.

i think mixing the way you play is good. this hand is good, you arent really scared of him drawing and you want to decieve him a bit. but given the way you play i min raise the river.

[Cry Me A River]

Yeh, raise river. He has 22/A5 just about never. But he'll pay you off with AT an awful lot. If he's actually just played AA/KK this way, bully for him. He's saved you some money.

I want to bet the turn to not give a free card to something like KhQh or the unlikely straight draw, as played I raise the river.

You def. need to raise the river as played.

I'm not as enamoured w/ your line as others. I would be looking to stack AT-Q here which is a massive part of villains hand range. I'd usually make a smallish flop raise which leaves a couple of 3/4 bets to get stacks in.

If you think villain is ok and you can't get stacks in here then I prefer raise flop, check turn, call/raise/bet river or call flop, bet turn, bet river.
