I didnt really put him on AK, the more I thought about it the more i put him on some other kind of draw or a mid pair he would fold to a second bullet. Who bets and who checks behind? Was turn bet good too?

Definitely raise the flop. A lot of the time you'll win immediately, and otherwise you'll be building a big pot for your big draw. Even against a nightmare range for villain you have at least 42% equity on the flop. As for the river, bluffing without reads at micro limits is generally considered a no-no. You'll continuously be surprised and disappointed by how little they'll call you with.

Well said.

A flop raise is an option. In my opinion, calling is okay too, after which I do think the turn semibluff when checked to is a good play. But once you get called there, I would probably give up, even though the river barrel will sometimes work. The thing is, you're going to get called down lighter than usual in this blind-steal situation, and Villain's turn call indicates he has something.

raise the flop and bet the turn so that you have just about a PSB left on the river and shove that in on A rivers and when you hit your draw.
