I have to fold river since I beat pretty much one hand in his range (AQ) and tie with AK. Should I have checked behind the turn?

so you don't think QsQx or KxJs are in his range?

[Fnord]

What'cha know about him?

[Keilah]

Hum, i suppose QsQx could be in there.

He's 10/7/2 with a river AF of 1. He plays pretty close to the same range in all positions.

EDIT: I just found a hand where he hit his K on the flop with AK, bet it, check/called the turn, and then checked the river. This was on a dry board.

[Fnord]

Call, chop the pot.

[jimmyallin]

I'd call.

Do you ever raise the flop?

[ATOTHEC101]

id probably check behind turn and definitely fold river, looks like he had trips/2 pair by the turn, decided to check call due to the flush completing then hopes to get paid off by the perceived flush by shoving the river.

[kingnat]

Why no 3ball pre?... If he's 10/7... it's an ez 3bet imo.... but i suck.. plz explain.

Kingnat is confused.

[Keilah]

Cuz I'm donkey.

Why's his stats make it easier? You'd 3b less vs looser?

[kingnat]

iunno... i think u should pretty much 3ball anyone w/ that isn't like 5/1

[Fnord]

Against guys like that you should FOLD AK (and probably QQ/JJ except to play set or bet if checked to.)

3-betting AK here changes the dynamic of the hand a lot and might not be what you want to do. It really depends on how he plays, how you feel and if you want to mix up your game a bit. Also, he'll usually rep flops you hit making up for the bet you missed pre-flop.

[Keilah]

O when kingnat asked i was thinking i was holding KK for some reason.

Yah i'm not 3betting AK vs this guy, same reasons fnord said.
