    Don't show weakness. So I don't check here.

    Bet out you still have chips after with a good 700 bet. Blinds are low.

    So my play would be lead out for 700-800.

    Don't check.

    Definately bet. You have no reason to beleive that king helped him unless he's drawing to a flush with Kx for some reason. I put him on one of three things: flush draw with Ax, possibly a straight draw, or top pair with medium kicker... like J10.

    yeah if he had K10 or K7 (or AK clubs) or something so be it. Bet out and I'd' go get the rest if re raised.

    The only thing that will beat you is a set or a bigger pair, IMO. I've seen a few plrs call that flop with AK too. But with a raised pot, I would feel OK about betting the turn here. Repeating your 400 bet seems right to me. If he turns around and raises you, you're beat. If he calls then you have to check the river and decide on pushing based on his reaction.

    Gotta make a strong bet or else the guy may "rep" the king that he may not have. AK maybe worrysome, but you gotta keep aggressive on this hand.

    1. overvaluing mid pocket pairs
    2. knowing you should fold, but donkishly calling or raising anyway

    A bet for ~800 for me here, although that doesn't leave u with very much if u have to get away which is why a push might be merited.

    What range of hands can u put him on here? What has his play been like to date? Is he the kind of player who would re-raise with TPTK/TPDK?

    I am putting him on AJs or A9s (clubs), pushing and praying that he ain't some dipshit who is going to flip over KT or worse, that he is one of these "I'll slowplay a set with an obvious draw out there" type guys!

    I make a weak bet hoping he'll rep the king and call his reraise. Unless I'm playing a total fool. Then I raise 3/4 pot. Don't fold here.

    I agree with all....you are ahead, this guy is chasing a flush or hoping to hit his Ace. Possibly has a piece of the flop....maybe the T

    So what if the turn was an ace?

    Would I bet repping the A?

    Yes. You won't learn anything by checking...
