-Paired board

-Broadway card, rag, rag


I usually don't like to show weakness after aggression unless there is some serious evidence to slow the hell down. I usually bet out on the flop and will bet out on the turn if the flop wasn't raised. Sometimes I will take down the pot on the turn but often I find myself checking the river and potentially getting bluffed out of the pot. I am thinking this a BIG leak.

So should I Check the turn and then fold if bet into? or then check/call the river?

This probably only applies to heads up. More than 1 opponent I think its an easy fold.

AKo is barely +EV for me right now. I am playing it too aggressive post flop when I miss. Although I know of at least 2 instances in the last 2 days that I flopped 2 pair with AK and lost very large pots.

AKo:

98 times, 54.08% winrate. $0.79

that is ugly...
