$400 FR, AK... how much?

[High Wired]

I was 15/8/2.5, Villian was 40/12 over 20 hands, only knew that he bought in for $400 so I figured somewhat competant at least. He has $382 and I'm double stacked.

I am UTG+1 and I wake up with AK and pot it to $14. Villian in the SB min-reraises to $24 and I smooth called.

Flop ($52) 9[s] A[c] 7[h]

Villian leads a weakish $26. I found that to be interesting, in combination with the PF min re-raise. At this point I put his range on a high pp, JJ-KK.

I thought for about 8 seconds and came over the top to 3x his bet, $78.

He hesitated for a few seconds and called.

Turn ($208) 7[s]

He checked after a slight delay. After thinking for ~5 seconds, I checked for a little pot control. In no way was I scared about the 2nd seven on board now.

#1. Was this an error considering what I put him on? I checked also with the mindset that I would call any river bet as long as river was a non-scare card.


River ($208) 3[c] a blank.


He checked in the same fashion that he did on the turn.

I'm nearly certain that I have the best hand here, right?

#2. What should I bet to get maximum value?

$160

I like your line here

[Jarren]

I too like your line, I think he has an AQ, AJ, KK, QQ type hand and will have trouble letting go

I think a bet anywhere from $150 - 190 is fine.
