People usually say that when you reraise AK and hit TPTK that you're playing for stacks. You have better than that on the river so I'm sticking it in everytime.

I don't understand the check behind on the turn. Is it cuz the flop is so dry and if you bet he'll likely fold everything worse than AK?

yes i was hoping to possibly induce bluffs or calldowns from QQ or JJ or KQ

Yeah, just stick it in on the river. You'll get called by Ax everytime, and maybe even Kx if he's really bad.

Yeah, it's almost certainly a wa/wb situation, so there's little danger in giving a free card here. You will induce bluffs from some players, as well as get additional value out of QQ/JJ, which will almost certainly fold if you bet the turn.

Harry: Also consider checking the flop. Doing so would be a better line to induce bluffs from random crap that he called with preflop. The main thing is to just vary your play so you're not predictable.
