Ok villain has 270$ and I cover him. I'm on the SB with [Kc] semi-loose aggressive player
raises to 8$ on UTG and I make it to 25$ then he flat calls.

FLOP (pot 52$):

I bet right away 50$ he again flat calls the bet so now i put him on AT-AK.

Turn (pot 152$):

Now i make a silly move and go allin and he folds like he would be calling me with anything less then a flush. How many times will I make him fold AK here?

So what should be my thinking on the turn? I know he doesn't have a flush so should I

a) CRAI if he bets?

b) If he bets lets say 80$-120$ just call?

c) If C-C then bet river around 115$?

Thank you for your insight.

against a good player i think you need to check turn. free card can't hurt you and it maybe makes your hand look like KK/QQ so maybe he'll try to push you off it. if he bets i probably just CRAI.

i also would have bet a little less on the flop...maybe $40 or so. but no biggie.

i dont think you can make him fold AK with this action. what should he put you on? AA and AA only? probably not.

the other possible line is to bet like $90.

I'm not pulling a CRAI here. Toss $85-$95 out there and push the river. If he caught a miracle flush or flopped a set, you're getting like ~4.5:1 with anywhere from 7-12 outs if you're beat, but you usually have the best hand.

We don't want him checking behind on the turn and folding the river with a bad Ace in fear that you were trapping a better hand. Just be straightforward here. That's the beauty on AK.
