AKs line

Villian seems like he knows what he is doing, got almost 1k hands on him running 22/14. If it matters about 30 mins ago he raised on the button I reraised in the SB he called I cbet and he minraised and I folded.

why lead aislephive? (not a rhetorical question, I am curious what your reasoning is)

I would lead for a few reasons, particularly against tricky opposition. One, it looks like we're bluffing when we lead the ace turn. He knows that we have AK/AQ or a very weak hand, and it might induce a bluff raise. Is JJ/QQ/KK ever leading this turn? I doubt it. We recently were caught making a bit of a steal move from him, so he might be suspicious. I also like leading from a value perspective. A check-raise all in is actually a fine play, and in fact I take back my original post and think a c/r ai is the better play, but I think leading is good too for the reasons above.

i think both plays are equally transparent, but the c/r seems to extract more ev

All in.

I think most players at 400NL won't have the balls to look you up with JT here if you lead/push the turn, especially if there's been no real history. I know what you're trying to say, but I think you're assuming too much.

so folding is bad?

c/r all in.

what hand does he have that bets this turn?

by the fact that you posted this, TT.

But there are tons of crazy hands you'll see betting this turn.

Folding here is absolutely terrible. When you 3-bet pf with AK you should be felting TPTK the vast majority of the time. The fact that you have the nut flush draw makes folding out of the question.

i c/r ai and was called by 77. i guess i am second guessing myself because against this guy it seemed so obvious.
