I just call. He 3bet you pf with a pfr of 4% and now he's raising the river. AA, KK, AK are all in his range, and you're happy if you can chop it here.

is there any chance this is 222/A2? i guess AA/KK wait for the turn to pop it, too.

either way, i really dont like AK here.
LHE is a game where your skill keeps you breakeven until you hit your rush of random BS.

Nothing beats flopping quads while dropping a duece!

Hero betting out on river is probably spew in hand.
Also, I hate hero's check raise on the turn.
The older I get, the more I start wondering; Just what in the hell is going on here?

Just call, As stated earlier the range is AA, KK, AK, MAYBE AQ very unlikely.
Poker, its easy to learn but takes a lifetime to master.

I don't like the preflop cap against this guy. What is his range?

AA-JJ, AK? Maybe AQs.

At best you're a coinflip and you're often getting crushed. Rarely you'll get lucky and he'll have AQ. But with only one extra player in financing your cap, I really don't like it.

This is also the same reason I don't like your turn checkraise. If he's got AA, KK it's terrible and if he has QQ or JJ he'll often check behind and you lose a bet. You only gain one bet against AQ and lose bets vs AA-JJ. I don't like it.

If you 3b you're going to get capped when you're behind and only called when you're ahead. You have to be 66% sure that you're ahead to 3b.
