AK, turn decision

[kurtkatt]

First level 10/20 blinds.

approx starting stacks of 1500 i belive.

I raise AKh to 80 from utg+1
all folds to BB who thinks for a while and calls.

K T 4 r (one heart)

BB checks, i fire a 150 bet at the 170 pot.
BB calls

What´s his range?

Kx , QJ, 44, TT. Reasonable? or should it be bigger, smaller?

Turn, Jh
Villain checks again

My action?

You've got to think you have the best hand. He's likely on a straight draw, maybe with a pair in there as well. I'd go into c/c after the flop but fold to a large bet.

I'd three bet push this quite happily on the turn.

And his range is anything that he's chosen to call with pre-flop with more or less. The c-bet gets rid of some pocket pairs and suited connectors but AQ will generally call a standard c-bet here.

[kurtkatt]

i can´t check/call in position.

[trevcore]

don't go for the jugglar right away you probably have him. you could try a pot and half size bet top see what happens or you could check and let him tell you where he is at. I was in a similar hand a few weeks ago but I was the other guy. I actually had trip 4s to his top pair top kick, he pushed, I called and doubled up first hand of tourney. So you just never know.

[kurtkatt]

ok, i can see your point of being happy to be all in on turn. And i wouldn´t mind it really but think that it might be hard to get all in with the best hand?

If i keep betting here, do i lose all worse hands (except kq probably) and keep all that beat me?

[registrar]

If you're raised on the turn, a push is definitely +EV. If he calls, you have the option to check behind on the river if you think he has TPTK beat and doesn't have, for example, KQ.

These broadway hands are always messy but I'm not going to take my foot off the gas in level with TPTK the nut flush and a broadway gutshot when worse hands will pay off both turn and river.

[kurtkatt]

yeah you are probably right. Guess i lose a lot of value here, checking behind on turn with one pair plus outs too often

[registrar]

I think the interesting thing is the turn bet size.
