Possibly hard spot with AK

[b2l_cricket]

Weird spot. The small preflop raise was a mistake, I didnt click the increase bet slide enough. The other bets were slightly smaller than normal but i was trying not to play a huge pot OOP, I dont know if this was a big mistake. My normal cbets in three bet pots are almost never pot size bets so i dont think it looks to funny. Anyways i got to the river and had no idea where i was at. I think if he stays in here so long with a worse hand he might be thinking about trying to bluff raise the river. I know that doesnt happen a lot at these stakes but i really dont want to play for stacks here. I had no idea what to do on the river so i check. I guess a smallish blocking/value bet is ok. After i check i think it looks like i might be giving up here. Do you think this is a call, i only have to be good 1/4 of the time. I dont think he is value betting a worse hand almost ever, i dont 2-barrel light often. I dont know if i look weak enough that he could be bluffing enough, and no good read.

Stack sizes?

Why are you reraising preflop if you don't want to play a huge pot?

It looks like he was drawing.
And it looks like he missed.
Readless I call here.

I usually end up playing mostly medium sized pots when it gets 3bet preflop. Someone usually gives up on the flop in my experience. Against tougher players it will likly be different. But stacking off for almost 200bbs is not what i want to do with TPTK. I would like recommendations for the rest of the line.

Thanks

If you want recommendations for the rest of the line it would be helpful to know beforehand that you in fact were 200BBs deep....

Weird, i tried to make an edit. It wont let me edit my post not.

I dunno if i make the river call or not, even though it is a button raise, he called to big bets one 2 streets. to me it smells like a set or if we have a read maybe kq/kj/kt. anyone like bet fold? bet 25 on river and fold to raise?

[Spanky1974]

It would be a cheaper to block river for $20, but I'm calling the river bet.

This is deeply misguided.
