    Default AQ 6.50

    Check turn? The 2nd king made me think there either on a flush draw or have a weaker ace , so my bet is to protect / value . What to do now on the river? Do we assume one of the villians either A) Has a king or B) spent half there stack chasing a flush or C) Both have Aces or some kind of hand they cant get rid of and we beat so shove?

    wow, really tough spot

    You would think both would raise a K on the turn but I guess we have to figure one has either slowplayed it to here or got there. Someone could have the AcXc and play this way.

    It's crappy because they will never bet a hand you beat so you lose whatever value your hand has, but I guess c/f.

    I think the turn bet is good but only if you c/f this river - if you want to put more money in now, you should check turn to keep pot smaller.

    I agree this is a tough spot. Checking the turn and seeing what happens is a possibility, but I'm not necessarily delighted about giving a free card. I also agree with drmcboy that they could be slowplaying the K, most donks don't realise that they should be raising for value and to protect their hands in this spot.

    As played, I definitely check the river and only call a very small bet.
