What do you think about flatting AKs preflop, and 4betting with AKo? I started to use PS preflop ranges (bootcamp), where it is recommended.

Postflop?

Hi.

Its fine to flat from time to time and i guess AKs is better than AKo for playing wo initiative. But still my own gameplan revolves around 4bet bluffing a ton so ill 4b AK almost always as well.

If u are more passive then u can also strengthen your calling range

Thanks. Do you agree with postflop line? I thought there isnt much point in betting the turn, chRaise would be awful, and I am ahead of his ch/fold range anyway.
Without more info river is a fold, right?

Postflop: I think it's fine. Queen is a very bad card for you so fold is good.

Turn could be a bet - He'll often not fold some random pairs but you could always go for a two-barrel. Does he necessarily have a check/raising range here? Most people at NL100 don't.

Hi,

I personally really like your line. I think checking is slightly better than betting too, I just don't think people are very strong when they check here so I don't mind keeping his range pretty wide.

Could you elaborate on why your gameplan revolves around 4betbluffing please?

Im guessing because he rather push more marginal edges pre, not let people realize some of their equity pre. I personally like to every once in a while to call with aks to strengthen my calling range.
