    Default AK UTG oop betting vs loose player

    Villain is 40/10 over 200 hands
    Merge Network $0.02/$0.04 No Limit Hold'em - 9 players

    SB: $4.00
    BB: $6.28
    Hero (UTG): $3.98
    UTG+1: $2.61
    UTG+2: $1.72
    MP1: $14.39
    MP2: $3.28
    CO: $5.32
    BTN: $7.19

    Pre Flop: ($0.06) Hero is UTG with A K
    Hero raises to $0.20, 4 folds, CO calls $0.20, 3 folds

    Flop: ($0.46) J 9 K (2 players)
    Hero bets $0.34, CO calls $0.34

    Turn: ($1.14) J (2 players)
    Hero bets $0.85, CO calls $0.85

    River: ($2.84) 4 (2 players)
    Hero bets $2.13, CO raises to $3.93 all in, HERO??

    Is this hand strong enough to just keep firing out of pos?? when this guy raised this river I knew i was beat but how can I get away from a hand like this?? Should I raise more pre?? Thanks

    Pre is fine. I like closer to pot on this flop. It's so drawy, you want to make those suckers pay.

    This turn is where I still have trouble and hope the better players here can help out. I think b/f is the best action.

    As played to river, you could c/c since a lot of busted draws will bluff. Jx is really the only hand you're afraid of. As played I think your river bet is too big. It's not likely that he has anything worse that will call down and you fold out any draws that would potentially bluff.

    my opinion is that both flop and turn are b/f.

    flop sizings i think like chusko said could go up to 0.4, but turn i like to bet smaller, like 0.7, we are gonna get raised a lot of times on that board and could even fold the draws he has if we bet to big, river i would c/c depending on his size or b/f like 1-1.3$.

    as played, you are beat when he raises river and should fold even if you get 4:1.
    All posts are just my own opinion about a hand or a general situation... not advices on how you should play...

    You should bet bigger on flop vs this guy, think about how the board interacts with his range of hands.

    If you've seen him bluff missed draws before then c/c, based on his stats I'm guessing he won't. I'd probably just ship river given we have the best hand so often and he won't fold Kx hands.

    We have to call a tiny amount to win the $9 in the pot, never ever folding here.

    i'd almost prefer to check this river than to bet this size. as played i think i'd b/f like $1.2 on the river

    definitely cry call the river now that you bet huge.

    c/c river or small bet is best. if he bluffs an okay frequency or bets worst Kx then c/c is better. if he never bluffs then small bet is best
