Villian is 29/17/2 180 hands. What is a good line here? I could bet the flop but i think checking is going to give me more value from weaker hands and i cant really be that worry about the flush in 3bet pot. How would you play?

Very tough decision, flip a coin and hope it lands on fold. Since you flat called turn you put him on a set yes? So fold river?

he has AA/KK/AK which means it's a fold. He might be bluffin with QQ/JJ but not often enough imo.

ohh man that's a gay river bet. I'd probably just suck it up and fold the river since youre basically hoping for a chop at this point and I seriously doubt the other AK bets 1/2 pot on turn and then shoves the river like this. I mean, if he bet something smaller I'd be tempted to call but this line is pretty transparent.

Agree with the river fold. Cant see him bluffing here.

If board does not pair are you calling his river bet? You flat called because you felt he had a set? Say a meaningless two were to come on river, what would you do? If you fold here, why not just fold turn?

How is the paired 8 significant?
