    Turn is fine imo. You bet he cold calls. Im always taking the showdown here if its offered for free. Maybe miss a little value but better that than someone tries to buy it

    Looks good. River bet or check is purely based on reads, so can't really say what is correct. With no read, I lean towards a check.

    For me I can get something for free im going to take it. Chcecking on the river is fine in this case I think.
    It's easy to shoot fish in a barrell............. Just throw in a stick of dynamite!!

    yea only bet that river against players who dont check raise. I would check with no reads but there are plenty of players i will bet against at my stakes.
    gabe: Ive dropped almost 100k in the past 35 days.

    im thinking he had a weak ace (Ace 10-7) ... i don't mind the river bet just as long as you know your player... good against passive players.. very aggressive players will tend to make moves on the turn .. even on the river with a big raise that will put u to the test.. overall the hand was well played.. the only thing i would have done different would be betting more close to pot size on the turn to get a better feel where you are at..
    ace king is not a made hand.

    Default Re: How's my AK line

    generally speaking, any other face card flopping w/ your tp/tk has to have you a bit worried about the possibility of drawing to a four-outer against two-pair off the flop... also, the third club on the turn was somewhat scary. i'm completely paranoid when it comes to people chasing flushes, but the fact that he checks it on the river (when flush-chasers usually slam a big bet to they get paid off) probably makes your own raise pretty safe.

    bottom line being that you extracted the best possible value out of your domination... nothing better than players that let themselves be trapped in those kind of situations.
    i bet 2 dolla on my flush draw

    25/50's f'in hard!
    Your turn bet looks weak and screams 'raise me and i'll fold'

    At higher stakes you would get raised everytime and would get bluffed out of the hand. Thankfully you arent playing higher stakes. At your current stakes, well played.
