4/180 AKs line check

I'm pretty sure I played this horribly. Do I c-bet this flop (I don't usually like to c-bet when I'm OOP)? Also villain's min-raise on the turn threw me off a little not sure what that means. I'm also looking for help putting the villain on a hand here.

Looks pretty standard except I would raise to at least 100 preflop.

I call the river bet

early in 4/180 range for utg+1 is huge imo...j8-j10, q8-qj, k8-kq, a6-a9, 22-99. Who the heck knows what else.

Personally I make it 100 to go with his limp (but that might be splitting hairs early) and put in a cb of 200 to pot.

As played i might raise the turn 120 depending on how many makers on the rocks deep i am, only for a bluff and fold to 3 bet, but call the river bet as i am a calling station and very interested bystander, not to mention 3.5 to 1 and he may have been bluffing q and missed his str8 draw. Yes i am a horrible player, but trying to learn and post a few responses.

I'd shove PF (although I didn't used to).

Anyhow the rest of your line looks fine.

because you know he will call or you want to take down the 50 chips right now?

LOL at taking down the 50 chips right now. It's own of those last bet things. If I keep betting with a good hand, eventually even really bad villain's fold. But if I only give them one chance to make a decision, he has a lot less info.

BTW, this only really works in 4/180s. People can't fold AQ PF...and a whole lot of other garbage. I've been called with KJ and KT here PF before.

Raise the turn if he calls c/f the river

that is where i was trying to get you too. You are usually a very thorough poster and the original seemed to be missing a reason. I took it upon myself to add the humor aspect. I push here on occasion as well only to be looked up in a race situation at worst.
