$200 NL at Tribeca.

1st 2 guys limp. The button raises to $10. hes done this the last 3 times that these 1st 2 foold limped. I think its happened 3 times the last 5 times hes been on the button.

I reraise to $35 with 88 in the BB. I doubt he has a big enough hand to call a reraise since I should have a big pair here. But he calls.

Pot $75. Flop 998. We both have full stacks and this guy is fairly competenant. How much do you bet? Or do you check raise?

If I check, he'll "know" I have AK right? He'll bet for sure no matter what he has.

On the other hand, he should have at least JJ here and may not be able to let it go if I bet.

I would bet then check the turn whatever hits. I think that represents AK more than checking, as I would bet this flop 100% of the time.

underbet. and dont make it a round # like $40 or $50. maybe $33, $38, $41. whatever. and wait a few seconds before you do it. he'll convince himself you have AK and the stacking will ensue.

if you check this flop, a smart player will check back more often than you might think.
