AK from the blinds

Stenqvist is a tight and solid player.

What do you think he has?

A pair lower than AA or the missed flush draw it would appear.

AK/AQ

Why are you leading the turn + river?

I played this hand just the way I would play a flopped set. From his perspective I could just as well have a set.

After he reraised the flop and then just called the turn, I felt that the most likely hand he had was AK (Perhaps 60% AK, 20%AQ, 20%AA). I wanted him to fold his AK!
It also helps you to get payed off when you do flop a set in this kind of situation. I play against these same people quite often.

If this is what your thought process was during the hand then very nice hand. :) You would have to be very confident in you read though. I think I only pull this move if I have a super solid read on villian and know for a fact that he is capable of laying down TPTK to lots of aggression, something which I don't take for granted even against your average opponent at 100NL. The other day I 4-betted a guy all in w/TT on a AT3R flop and he called $60 on the end with AK. Anyway, the river push is very risky because if you are called you are chopping or are toast.

I think villian layed down AK, or maybe AQ. As far as repping the set is concerned, I really like calling the flop 3-bet and putting in a big CR on the turn to get villian off AK. It would very very very difficult for villian to stay in on the turn if you took this line IMO. Nh and well played.
