AK scary board

Bandana boy

OK
Are hero is on BB with 350 in a 1-2 game
I have been playing for 2 hours on this table and have pretty good reads on players

Villain CO 1 stack 500 an interesting player
so far has played his position very well made some interesting folds and some very good value calls

OK
Villain makes it 6 from the CO
This is standard with any reasonable starting hand on the button
From the CO suggests slightly stronger but still could be Strong Ace
Button is a Donkey call as does SB who is also a Donkey
On BB with AK suited I make it 22 to play

Villain Calls
This sets of alarm bells this is now better than standard i know he folds AX
but maybe calls with suited AQAJ but likely PP or AK

Donkey 1 calls donkey 2 calls

pot 88
Flop 2 tone none of my suits AQ2

Checked from SB i check Villain leads for 25
Donkeys fold
I call worried (should i bet ?)

Turn a 4 putting 2nd flush draw on board
I check(?) Villain checks
Now i think he either has AK KK maybe but unlikely JJ i am sure he leads turn with QQ or AQ

River j no flushs

So should i lead river

I lead the flop for 70 or so. I dont want to check into 4-way action, and have everybody check, and a 4 to pop off and somebody hits their 44. If you get raised, when you lead into 3 players, then you are prolly beat.

Lead the river and fold a raise now I reckon. Prolly half pot or so.
Check/call is not so hot now, because he will hardly bluff with KK, and he will be able to bet full pot "pretending" to bluff with JJ and QQ.

RoundTower

Yes I would lead the river now for value. If raised you can fold. I would bet good and big on the flop.

Goodluck2me

im not sure about the two checks. i may have check raised on the flop and hope that none of th eDonkeys with their "unbeatable" ace with 4 kicker outdraw you or call for a gutshot. by check calling you are finding out no information and are giving up your strength in the hand, i know you are out of position but if you have AJ in the Villains position you probably think your ahead after somone checking to you twice. hes probably hit his second pair then on the river...id check raise the flop and bet half or 3/4 the pot on the turn to stop flushers calling and if your caller here you are probably behind, definetly folding to a raise on the turn... how did it pan out?

Bandana boy

When he checked the turn I was getting ready to bet at a non flush river but chickened out as i started worrying about the j
I checked as did our villain and we chopped as he also had AK ( unsuited)

It stook with me as i think a reraise on flop or bet on river might have won a not insubstantial pot
