    Default More AK shenanigans

    Still trying to improve my play with AK..
    UTG had not been at the table for long but seems TAgg.

    PokerStars No-Limit Hold'em, $0.25 BB (8 handed) Hand History Converter Tool from FlopTurnRiver.com

    Hero ($26.20)
    MP2 ($24.35)
    CO ($25)
    Button ($72.35)
    SB ($32.45)
    BB ($20.10)
    UTG ($45.50)
    UTG+1 ($29.40)

    Preflop: Hero is MP1 with A, K.
    UTG calls $0.25, 1 fold, Hero raises to $1.2, 2 folds, Button calls $1.20, 2 folds, UTG calls $0.95.

    Flop: ($3.95) 4, 2, 5 (3 players)
    UTG checks, Hero bets $2.75, Button folds, UTG calls $2.75.

    Turn: ($9.45) 4 (2 players)
    UTG checks, Hero ???

    What is the optimal play here? I have 2 overcards, the gutshot straight draw, and the 2nd nut flush draw. Do you fire a 2nd barrell or check and see the river for free?

    Really depends on reads. Without a good read, I lean towards checking.

    I check that every time. You probably have a lot of outs and you are probably behind - why bet in that situation when he's letting you see a free card?

    Take the free card.

    yep, in retrospect a check here is so blatantly obvious this shoulda been posted in the beginners circle
