    Default I 3bet-fold and b/f with AK

    #1

    6 hands in caller is 50/0. I thought about check - decide the river based on sizing. I doubt he folds AT or better here on the turn. Looking back if I size turn a little bigger I could shove river, didn't really have a plan though So I decide to try something new and block bet the river. He has no air to steal the pot and I feel like this guy won't turn 1 pair hands into a bluff. Was more expecting a shove. But I still dont see how this isn't 2pair+ mostly flushes or slowplayed boats

    Yuck. Yeah I think once in a while he's decided his AQ is good on the river, but most of the time you're beat. Good fold I think. Not sure about the blocking bet idea. Not sure if there are many hands that will give you a cheap showdown there if he has what you fear. On the other hand if you check you're just asking him to rep a flush I suppose.

    I like the fold on the river. You should have bet bigger on the turn though. Either that or you should have shoved it in the turn.
