 Poker Room skin
No Limit Holdem Ring game
Blinds: $0.50/$1
10 players
Seat 1: Hero [ AC,KH ] ($98.50 in chips)
Seat 2: SB ($103.05 in chips)
Seat 3: BB ($159.05 in chips)
Seat 4: UTG ($49.90 in chips)
Seat 5: UTG+1 ($208.55 in chips)
Seat 6: MP1 ($130.40 in chips)
Seat 7: MP2 ($101.25 in chips)
Seat 8: MP3 ($110.15 in chips)
Seat 9: CO+1 ($96.35 in chips)
Seat 10: CO ($108.70 in chips)
Converter

Pre-flop: (10 players) Hero is Button with A K
6 folds, CO calls, Hero raises to $5, 2 folds, CO calls.

Flop: K T 2 ($10.5, 2 players)
CO checks, Hero bets $8, CO calls.

Turn: 8 ($26.5, 2 players)
CO checks, Hero checks.

River: 8 ($26.5, 2 players)
CO bets $20, Hero ???

No specific reads.
CO was 13/5/0.7( river AF: 2)
Do you think this guys could bet river OOP a hand like KQ or KJ? Maybe I'm being too nitty ...

(Edit: Corrected the wrong BB & the wrong CO/Button reference)

you mean CO is 13/5/0.7( river AF: 2) or your own stat? confused. i think you raised too much with AK hand IP preflop if big blind is $0.5. As played, pot control on the turn against a nitty player is great but you gotta value bet vs loose fish/donk in my opinion. River is a call.

Judging by stacks this is likely a $0.50/$1 table and the converter doesn't reflect that properly.

I agree that there's nothing generally wrong with checking the turn on this board if you are looking to showdown reasonably and/or get a river bet in from a weaker hand...in which case you pretty much have to call the river as you've induced a bet from Tx, Kx, pairs, QJ, etc.
It's a little odd that he fires more than just a blocking bet on the river though...that pretty much marks him as really strong or really weak and trying to push you off of JJ/QQ/less but I'd sniif out that it probably leans more toward the bluff-only side on his part. Meaning that you haven't shown much strength so are likely to be weaker than a pair of kings and he still expects you to call a big bet on the river?
That doesn't make much sense from a 'standard-play' perspective.
Granted many folks aren't thinking that way and can only bet their hands and not care whether you call or not.

 Villain could very well be thinking you're weak here, and that you just made a c-bet after missing the flop, and now he's decided to try and take a stab at the pot.

If he's got a set or aces he played it stupid, but as it stands you've got the best reasonable 2pr and as Fnord so eloquently put it: you gots to pay the man his monies...

 Thanks guys, just wanted to make sure that even with such a nitty stats this should be a call.
What about if villain was in position and I was OOP? Would you still call?

This looks like a set or river bluff to me, take your pick.

This is very likely not a set because I don't see villain calling the PF raise with 8x.

We're looking at likely some weird 2-pair KT maybe. There aren't any straights out there, so it's either that, a weaker K or you're just crushed.

As played, I think you call here becuase of the weakness you displayed. He could have you on JJ, QQ or AQ.
