50NL AK hits top pair - funky reraise from villain on river

I think the flop bet is fine, its around my normal cbet of 1/2 to 2/3rd pot and its really tough for him to fold a weak king there - really I just want to vbet the whole way.

Again I think $7 on the turn scares him away or forces him to choose push/fold.

[/ QUOTE ]Alright, I see the reasoning behind flop bet. Opponent specific I assume? But on the turn with that dry of a flop you KNOW he has part of it or some underpair that he didn't fold. Unless you have reason to suspect he can read hands or get away from poor kickers, these kind of stats strongly suggest no to me, bet more for value now that you know apporx what he has.

Ya I think I underbet the turn a little, $5.5-6 is probably good here.


Given reads ( I have this hand on vid and was talking through it at the time - I actually put him on KJ on the turn...and bet/called anyway /vomit ), what do we think is the optimal river line assuming some margin for error in reads?

Check/call, check/fold, smaller bet/fold ?

It's close between check/fold and check/call, depends on the player/reads/flow of the game.
