AK on 235

Villain is 16/12/3 over 577 and we have no significant history, other than that he maaay have noticed I've made a few threebets on this table recently with no showdown. Out of 13 threebets, he has fourbet 2 times, folded 5, and called 6.

Do we cbet? How much? If he raises, do we fold or shove? If we choose to check and he bets, do we fold/call/checkraise? Decisions and reasons please.

My first instinct is to bet/shove because we rarely have less than 40% equity and it's an easy way to play the hand, but it might not be the best way.

you can't fold after your flop cbet given pot odds and your ok equity. However,i'd rather felt this if I have at least 11 outs.That being said,i c/f and give up without some dynamic history vs a regular.

check/jamming gets us more FE vs his range given SPR

I like getting it all in on the flop but I hate how you did it.

You bet $30 into $66 - this is a value bet hoping for a call. This is a huge mistake because it is impossible for villain to fuck up here. Unless he has a weaker hand like AQ... and you are inducing a raise or something like that... but that's just weird.

yeah well i did consider the possibility of him raising AQ, also i bet that size because i'd do the same with QQ+

so do you figure a)bet bigger with my range, or b)fuk balance?

[BankItDrew]

b) fuck balance

too few players at <200nl actually take into consideration of what you did last time in this spot.
