    Default $16 - AK bottom straight vs big stack

    This was a tricky spot.
    I was not too happy with the other big stack calling me preflop.
    I think I have to cbet on such a flop after he checks.
    Then the turn gave me bottom straight and he bet.
    6x beats me and Ax splits.
    However I got good odds and it was a big pot.
    Call the turn and river?

    PokerStars No-Limit Hold'em Tourney, Big Blind is t200 (6 handed) by Hand Converter CG

    SB (t3550)
    BB (t1655)
    UTG (t1740)
    MP (t1200)
    Hero (t3920)
    Button (t1435)

    Preflop: Hero is CO with A, K.
    2 folds, Hero raises to t500, 1 fold, SB calls t400, 1 fold.

    Flop: (t1200) 3, 5, 4 (2 players)
    SB checks, Hero bets t750, SB calls t750.

    Turn: (t2700) 2 (2 players)
    SB bets t800, Hero calls t800.

    River: (t4300) 8 (2 players)
    SB bets t1000, Hero calls t1000.

    Final Pot: t6300

    Fine, he's betting too small for you to fold.

    Im calling down too , but kinda of annoyed because chances are were splitting if not beat (he probally just has a Ace as we do , but he could have A6 , 67s , 56s , 68s , 66 ) I guess those are the only cominations i can think that he would play to a raise and that involve the card that is beating us. So yep i call down to but expect a split

    His river bet is laying you 5-1...

    You have to call, though a split seems likely. There's a chance he has a 6, but the pot's simply too big to fold. You've lost half your stack here if you let it go.
