WA/WB with AKo, not my usual line - Page 4

Turned out well this time, but you'll be kicking yourself when a backdoor flush with a low pair pulls in this pot.

I never really understood the WAWB logic, don't you want to get money in with close to 100% pot equity? Maybe you should change the situation to: "he's bluffing or I'm screwed".

Of course. Unfortunately we don't have that, hence the WB in WAWB. Betting with no draws in a situation where you are either dominated and will lose a lot of money, or are dominating and will win a little money, is -EV.

I love it. Genius. Noone suddenly shoves like that on the river with a monster. The river check strongly indicated that you were weak, and your trap worked beautifully. GG.

someone really needs to explain these abbreviations to me.

WA = Way ahead WB = Way behind.

Open ended straight draw.

villian might be value betting a worse hand, not necessarily bluffing.

i think i would have bet the turn, something around 60% of the pot (so around 90-100$).
The pb is, as i don't have any note on that player, i'm not sure what to do if he raises me. That may look weak, but i'm gonna think about folding my top two if he raises me on turn.
Provided i bet the turn, then i may check call a "not too big" river bet (if he bets pot, i may fold). I'd be cautious with a possible 43. You don't know that guy, he may call your preflop raise with 43s. And action on flop/turn would make sense with that hand. With my turn bet i think his river bluff is unlikely because of the strenght i showed preflop, on the flop and on the turn.

If i don't bet the turn, i bet the river, something around 50-60% of the pot. If i'm raised, i think i'm gonna fold (maybe i'd call a min raise).
Is my line sensible? That may look weak because my opponent could push with AK and i'd fold but that way i'd get more value from AQ.
