pretty simple AK hand

someone explain betting 60.

Villain may reason that you would only check with a real hand, and 2 barrel anything else.

BTW, where you going for a c/r on this turn?

fair point, but the villain might think the king is a scare card and bet it to get me to fold, too, so there's balance in checking as well as betting.

yeah, i was going to crai.

We want to try and price QQ in to calling a $60 bet.

[tannenj]

ok. i think he shoves the flop pretty often against me with that, though.

[23act]

bet 120 and call shove.

call shove cos he could have AJ, a busted FD or be putting a move on you.

also, you can't expect him to check the turn with a set or 2 pair so you're like always ahead here.

[tannenj]

right, i'm never folding. i'm kind of unsure about his range, though, and don't know what the best move is for extraction.

[carnivalhobo]

my idea with 60 is it gets crying calls from a lot of medium strength hands and can also induce a shove, you arent folding to a push anyways, so this is better than letting some medium pair have a free showdown since few people will turn a hand like 99 into a bluff if given a free showdown chance, but might raise your weak block.

[tannenj]

i get you.

no wonder this guy is a respected poster.

I definately bet/call this turn for all the reasons stated (but mostly bc I double barrel alot anyway)...Why didnt you?

As played, I think you have to bet the river. He isnt going to bet with his QQ or TT or whatever very often I dont think.

i bet this turn pretty often. in the flow of the game, i thought i might get a bet or a shove out of him.

[Little Fishy]

the more I think about this one, I like the underbet on the river. Villain can't get a free show down, he still might raise you on a bluff, and you get paid off 100% of the time when he has AJ (and feared your overpair on the flop).

What do you think villain puts you on in this hand? and so what might he call a river bet with?
