100nl river spot

Just looking for an overall thought process on the river here. No history with villain (I play casually on lots of different sites), he is 18/15/7.4 over 134 hands so probably a reg and I haven't seen him 3b UTG or me during the session so I flat AKo IP here.

who cares about reads

this is a 100% SNAP fist pump call

cheers. I will try and post some more hands over coming weeks, I've been a long-time lurker and really appreciate the quality of the input from some of you guys, enjoyed longple's videos and thought I should probably contribute a little since it seems kind of quiet in here.

I'm not sure why you floated flop but now that you got there on turn you should for sure call river as Tom said

I think when you choose to flat AK pre - floating these types of flop is completley standarrd ;-0

i guess i just don't flat AK pre too often, hence i don't get into these spots as often but i still would hope you would just fold flop at least some % of the time

villain is pretty nitty, i guess pre is good but i'd still just fold flop vs these types of players a lot

agreed with tom on everything

I like the flat preflop utg vs 3bet from the blinds. i also think that calling flop/turn and river is optimal, since we will induce bluffs. obv. snap call river.

agree with floating being good.

when i call with AK here it's because i beat at least half of their range, but only equal their value range (they are 3betting polarised from the sb) most players are cbetting a ton of their 3bet range here so AK high is often good on the flop. Plus we have good equity here.

also i'd rather flat flop with AK than 99-TT because both hands are still beaten a good amount of their 3bet value range. But AK has alot more potential on later streets, they could easily 3barrel off on a K turn. So AK is the strongest hand we could call with on this flop imo, except AJs, JJ. with our float we can easily rep 99-AA on later streets as well.

i feel like your advice might be good but it's so convoluted. are you saying you would raise hands like 99-TT on the flop?

no hes expressing that AK >99-TT in the overall scheme of things as far as playability and making more moneys. if he had to choose which hand he'd have in the situation he would rather have those.
