100NL: Unimproved AK facing possible river bluff.

[Sean Fraley]

Villain at this point in time has been playing about 60/40 preflop, seems to simply not fold anything pretty to a 3-bet, and has been mostly unaggresive. He also has shown no respect for c-bets. I think the river bet could easily be air, but it could also be any pair.

I think he would bet this river with whiffed overs and missed draws, but I also believe it could be any pair. Thoughts?

I think youre better off betting the flop harder (what would you bet w/ an overpair there?) and then depending on how fast he calls the flop, check or shove the turn.

that said, I'd fold the river as played since I dont see many air hands he can play like this besides [img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img] draws
