So I try the cold-call w/ AK thing...

[Paul McSwizzle]

Why shove the turn? Is he going to call with KQ? That is the only hand I can see him calling with that you beat...

I'd generally raise flop, but I like this, it looks a lot like a draw.

Ah, good point. So villain is calling it when he is way behind usually?

[thac]

It's just that I'm guessing loos doesn't flat with draws here, so we should be playing our disguised tptks like this too.

I considered raising flop, but on this board if the money goes in there I'm usually up against KJ,JJ/33,draws with boat loads of equity, and occasionally KQ/KT. I figured by raising turn, I can rep a draw myself, and get it in w/ a little better equity against any draw he feels like gambling it up w/.

looks good

you can also call and let him hang himself on the river

This is one of the few spots I like taking the passive c/c c/c c/c lines. He will value bet KQ all the way down, may double barrel (or even triple) since there's alot of mediocre made hands/draws you could have, etc..

Check raising pretty much sucks. Alot of your value comes from him getting overaggro with worse hands. You don't want to push him off his hands and he's rarely going to be willing to get it in with worse.
