AKo hitting early on

    Default AKo hitting early on

    3rd Hand of a Stars $50+5. I raised big preflop to narrow the field of the limpers, then hit the A on the flop. I think the flop and turn play are both ok (feel free to disagree). On the river, do you check behind or push? On one hand, villian could easily be trapping. On the other, a lot of weaker aces may call here. Thoughts?

    Check the river. He is drawing or slowplaying something.

    To jump ahead, I didn't check the river, and I immediately thought the play was a mistake because of the likelihood he was slowplaying (what draws are there in a raised pot with an A46 rainbow board?). But he folded.

    After that, I wondered if maybe enough bad hands play the way he did and call the river to make it a worthwhile play.
