AKo Play along (with Boz's approval )

[Jaran]

So, I played this hand last nite, and thought it had quite a few decision points. I had Boz look over it and he agreed, so here we go [img]/images/graemlins/laugh.gif[/img]

Reads:
Table as a whole has been playing fairly tight, with most pots contested between 2-3 players.
UTG is fairly rocky, and has been running hot. He has shown down QQ 3x, AA twice, and had a couple of ww/o sd's.
UTG+1 is the main person who UTG has been running well against, and has lost 5-6 hu pots against UTG. He is possibly tilting.
UTG+2 is a mouse of a player, and has yet to raise pf, although he is playing fairly tight. Postflop, he is very passive, c/c'ing down hands such as TPTK, and won't raise w/o the nuts.
SB is solid. Very solid. His cc in the SB is quite scary.

I've decided to skip pf, as I think this is very standard (anyone who wishes to disagree, can, but I'll ignore them).

I check behind. You're about to be check-raised by someone's overpair. Lets see the turn for free.

EDIT: I must be missing something here because this street seems too obvious to warrant a playalong [img]/images/graemlins/wink.gif[/img]

You should check behind. This isn't the time to cbet I think. You also can't call it a bet for value, on the other hand I think you won't push out a lot of players because the odds are great for them to call only 1 bet for 16+.

CHECK!

I bet and (assuming no c/r) take a free card UI. I think the more important reason to bet is if we check, we are turning our cards over basically. If we bet, we may convince a smaller pair to fold at this kind of table.

Meh... we get c/r'd like 85% of the time here..

fear of a checkraise is pretty weak methinks.

[Buzz-cp]

OK maybe SB will c/r....
