i like the flop check.

we're not worried about AA....but either he's scared of the Ace OR we're well and truly fucked. i tend to think he has KK/QQ and this wont be that profitable. i think the way you extract most is by checking flop, calling turn, raising river if he bets or betting river if he checks.

I ended up pushing all-in on the turn. He called with AK, and I stacked him.

I really like ua1176's line here. If villain does have QQ or KK, he probably isn't calling the turn all-in (unless he thinks I am your typical tribeca donk and had a flush draw).

Thanks all for the comments.

actually if he has AK then my line is pointless. just start betting/raising.

i generally think though that with this action....AK is less likely and i'ts either AA or KK/QQ.
