Re: 50NL AK vs preflop aggressor
I'm checking behind on this flop fairly often (and I am not trying to be results oriented.) Here is my reasoning: the mini-four bet greatly reduces his range to TT+, AK (AQ maybe if he is really aggro.) So you are flipping with part of the range, and killed by the rest, but, you are getting good odds and have position so calling preflop, I think, is good as opposed to pushing.
On the flop you are now beating most of his range, chopping with AK and getting killed by QQ,AA (4 combos total.) He is checking here either with a monster or a underpair he is planning on folding. Why bet when you only get called/raised by the hands that are killing you? You don't really need to build a pot with TP in a 4 bet pot. I say check behind and call down after that. You want to show this hand down in a midsized pot.
FWIW I'm folding to the c/r even though there is ~50 in the pot and I only have ~30 left. I don't think he plays KK or JJ like this. I'm fairly certain he has a set.
