Reads: No reads or stats on this one. Any thoughts on a flop check?

Didnt know about the turn - if I call I am committed, but what calls a raise that I bet?

Any other lines?

Seems standard on all streets... I think you crush his range.

I would consider the check on the flop if you've noticed him c-betting 80% or more.

Im not a big fan of a turn crai w/o a read that he's agressive and will bet this turn a lot. Lots of worse aces can call the turn

Probably any ace that he sees to the flop with. With the stacks/pot the way they are though, I think you might as well just shove to avoid him checking behind and having a straight/flush card hit on the river that will scare him away.

I like a bet on the turn, 3/4 pot. Agains GOOD players who raise the button, you might be in trouble re-raising out of position with AK pre-flop.

Considering his preflop raise/call, I think the range that you beat here mostly consists AQ. If he has 99-KK, he won't call. If he raise/called a medium PP preflop, which is a reasonable assumption, although the implied odds aren't really there, he will only call with a set. So his calling range is very narrow, while he could easily be betting KK, QQ or even JJ here. I like a flat call. His bet is very small compared to the pot size so I can imagine that he will check behind on the river. I will call a push.

What are you saying here? Against ALL players I should be reraising AKs PF - if they are good its more of a reason to raise

Results?

preflop fine, i could easily check call the flop and open shove the turn ai, or at least bomb it. its going to be very difficult for you not to turn AK into a bluff on an A hi flop in a 3bet pot versus a competent villain (though I know you have no reads). if you check flop then bet turn he is going to be a lot more likely to look you up with JJ or something.
