Two strong hands to analysis

[Vrax]

Typical situation, I know, AK flops TPTK. Bet the turn that hard?

If he has AQ, then so be it, based on his limping&calling the flop&turn, he was likely to have smaller pair or TP weak kicker. Or possible KJ or suited junk and waiting for 3rd diamond or ten. Potsized bets here?

-------------------------------------
Another big slick, I hit the flop hard. How to value bet strong hands on river and scary board? I don't know if I made a good decision to put a weak flop bet in order to get raised/called by strong pairs with the intent of reraising?

Turn brings 3 to nut straight, bet pot here?

River blank, how to value bet a strong hand here?

[Miffed22001]

First hand is fine.
I think unlesss he pushes at some point then you are ok and in front. I'd bet the pot too with Ak on both the flop and the turn. I'd guess at this level AQ comes back at you on the turn amybe even the river or pushes the river. Nice play though imo.
Second time round is pretty similar, id consider limping Ak from the bb though.
Again, i think you make the right play by betting big on a possibly dangerous board
