Default AKs... line check please! NLSNG

Villain seemed to take his time calling pf. I didn't know what to make of the c/r here, but that I have basically been running dude over. I think he has been trying to play back a bit, but not to any success. I think I could have played this better. Thoughts on all streets appreciated.

Hero (t1620)

I think your bet sizes are kinda small, I would prob make it 180~200 pf, and on the flop I would bet a little over 1/2 pot.

With those odds and that deep after his minraise I think itīs ok to call trying to hit a K or A, but I canīt say I love that spot.

You need to win ~ 34% of the time to show a profit .

If we're behind , then certainly we don't have the right odds to continue . So we have to assign a probability for us presently having the best hand .

Say x % of the time , we actually have the best hand and win ~ 88% (2x rule for suckouts) . The rest of the time we win about 25% of the time (reasonable guess) . For calling to be profitable , we need to evaluate the value of x .

So we wish to solve:

x*0.88 + (1-x)*0.25 &gt;=0.34
x&gt;=14.2857%

You can probably answer this better than us .
Do you think you have the best hand ott more than ~ 14% of the time ?

No, if I thought that I would have shoved PF.

I'd go 200 preflop and ~280 on the flop.

Edit: On the flop I would call a min raise, fold to a shove.

If he just called I would shove the turn.

If we go 280 on the flop, are we still calling the minraise?

Scrap that whole post actually, I haven't played in 20 blinds for a while.

180 preflop, 250 post flop, I'd call the min raise but I wouldn't be happy about it.
