If i took this line with AK here then I wouldn't have been "pot controlling" I woulda been trapping.

i normally would call here, but so far he has only shoved the nuts. and i have seen him play many hands with 43s and shits.

still aggro, and we hit like this with a hand like this on a dry board like this....

Unless you have a good read that his leading range is usually narrow and strong then I can't see us folding here.

And EWWW, use the spade button to post hands - its way sexier and many more folk will reply

i'd call since i would have flatted the flop and turn HOPING to get value from the river. he coudl easily have 32 and just own us but i'd make a note. honestly i'd have raised the flop to get value from FD and such and also he could easily think ur raising that flop cuz he donked. but it's not a great river spot as played since i dunt think he ever plays QK this way or w.e and his range is like missed FD or 3x or some totally psycho spazzed out with like J9o here. i'd call and make a note of wat he has.

yeah this - I didn't read the hand.

this is very read dependant, you call if he does it with random shit, you fold if he only does that with nuts type hands, without history I call

i don't see why you should be scared to get it in with AK on a K33 board? not necessarily saying raising is best but it seems you're not particularly concerned about ranges or game flow...

snap call

I've done shit like this without history when I spiked trips and someone is just snapping my check raises or overbets. I'm just kinda like "well fuck it, if he's calling this confidently on a paired board he's probably mentally committed" and then shove expecting a tilt call.

Without history I've seen monkeys do this with Kx or even worse, so I think you have to call in that regard.
