Nice pot, should I take a stab?

Villain is something like 44/5 over 80 hands. Nothing very special post-flop. Comments also from pre-flop appreciated.

I'd reraise preflop to 16

as played I would lead out on the flop for $10

Lead for pot, check-raising with tptk is pretty bad.

[mudbuddha]

yes, check raise on that board is filthy..

That seems like huge amount to me to reraise to preflop in $50NL.

Why so much?

Explain a checkraise being "filthy" to us newbies...

[tufat23]

'filthy' because TPTk is rather marginal.
If hero leads for $6 its easier to find out where you are than check raising for $15, where any kind of call/reraise and your looking sick playing TPTK on a connected board oop.

best case senario CO has AQ/QQ/JJ and will go away, any kind of call i'd have to assume CO has at least AK or better.

[mudbuddha]

the board is draw heavy..
what if he checks behind??? what do you do then?
what if a club falls or any face for that matter??

AK's value comes from fold equity. I'm sure bottom set just wants to take it down PF w/o any resistance..
