I get in the BB, one fold and the rest complete/limps and I check in the BB. 4 to the flop. I have a full stack.

Flop 8$
Checked to me and I bet 7 and get a call from MP1 who has 85 and plays 31/8/0.8 and MP2 who has a full stack and plays 62/31/2

Turn 29$
I bet 20, MP1 calls and MP2 folds

River 69$
I check.

I didn't raise PF since I would likely to get 1-2 callers anyways, and would play AK OOP in a large pot. And I just think that is a tricky thing.

Would you bet the turn? What size?
Would you bet the river to? How much?
Would you call a push on the river?

Preflop I raise it to from time to time, when the table isn't full of CS. And in this case I was pretty sure they were going to call. But in general I am not happy playing AK OOP, but it might just be that I am not a good enough player postflop.

Result: MP1 checked behind. He had . MHIG.
He obvisously wouldn't have called a push, and he didn't try to bluff it either.

In this particular case I think he actually woudl have called a preflop raise, and with similar bet sizes to the pots size I guess he would have been close to all in on the turn, so I would have won more.

But if I would have raised preflop, this guy (and maybe MP2 to) would have called, and the flop would have come, say or something, I couldn't reasonably CB, and would have a tricky situation where I would need to C/C or C/F

My reasoning for checking the river was that since any draws didn't get there, he would either have had me beat from the start with JT - and then he would reraise my bet AI, and I would call and lose anyways. If he had a missed draw, he wouldn't call my bet and might take a chance to bluff it. The only hands that I though might call a bet but not bet would be AQ/AJ/AT/KQ. So I might lose some value on those? Correct thinking, or am I better of pushing hoping to get called by these hands?

An interesting effect after this hand was that I got enormous respect of my raises and CBs after this hand, and I could become a lot more aggressive and take a lot pots down unimproved with CBs.
