Villain is an unknown. Comments, complaints and "dear lord WTF" are all appreciated as usual. All i ask is you explain your position. I can see betting more on the river to max value from JJ or QQ type hands. Maybe $20?

You've shown absolutely no strenght. He could have 99,TT,JJ,QQ here. But yeah, he could also have a K

i don't see a good reason not to make a strong bet on the flop here. half the AK are out of the deck, and we're likely to at least get a call from a random player that has 99-QQ. a lot of times you can stack randoms in this situation with a check on the turn. as long as you're getting money out of these other hands a good percentage of the time, you don't really care so much when someone flop trips on you.

So flop is an easy bet/fold? Bet/call?

[DaycareInferno]

i don't think that if you lead out strong that you're going to get raised all that often on the flop here. AK isn't going to be in any hurry with you being oop, and someone looking you up with a smaller pair usually won't push. if it does happen, i'm probably going to call.

[HoldEmNewby]

Even against an unknown you would bet/call?

If we don't get raised Would you lead all three streets? or stack a donk the turn?

i dont really mind the flop check, i sometimes bet here but it depends i guess.

after he checks the flop, i would lead the turn. i think you can still gain 2 streets of value vs. jj/qq/etc. given that you checked, calling is obvious.

after the way you got there,i think you played it fine. i doubt he's raising this river without a hand in this spot.
