    Default How do you play AK in 3bet pot?

    27/4/0.8

    Okay I probably should not even be 3-betting AK against this type of player but...

    In general, I have serious issues with AK post-flop.

    I always fire 2/3PSB as cbet in 3bet pot no matter what. It makes my hand much harder to read. Then I re-evaluate. If he calls flop here I check it down. Like you said it is probably better not 3bet a 4% PFRer OOP with AK.
    Playing live . . . thanks alot Bin Laden.

    He has at least AQ (unlikely) or KK (more likely) here and he aint foldin'

    If I 3bet preflop, I bet at least 2/3 the pot on any flop (unless it's a KK with an A on the flop type situation).

    If you check the flop then I wouldn't bet the turn

    If you bet the flop then I'd bet the turn.

    edit : I'm pretty sure you have the same hand here as villain.

    Either that or JJ.
    when the vpip's are high and the value bets are like razors, who can be safe?
