10/20 hand vs Ansky

I haven't played with Ansky much but I know his reputation is pretty wild. I'm not even sure I like my preflop play since I hate playing AQ oop here, I considered re-raising, I guess folding would be too weak(?)

My river play is a problem I've had a couple times lately...I've made "blocking" bets a couple times on rivers against aggressive players and got raised, and decided I may have induced a bluff and called down. But really this looks like a laydown I should make, what do you guys think? And kudos to you Ansky on your damn value raise...next time I'll have the flush [img]/images/graemlins/frown.gif[/img]

pretty sure by the river he knows exactly what u have, and betting the river is not advisable

Are you checking the turn for pot control? B/c with a flush draw and a straight draw (I know, but its there), wouldn't it make sense to bet out the turn? I'm a low staker so don't know if I should be posting here or not.

eh, you need to use all five cards to make a straight.

Thats a pretty solid hand to 3-bet pf too.

look at the hand from his perspective. it's ridiculously obvious what your hand is to him on the river. you think he's trying to move you off of it and not making an obvious raise for value?

Is preflop standard? I usually fold and occasionally shove but never call OOP.

I don't understand why Ansky would check the turn behind with AK.
