BTN: $14.11 (141.1 bb)
Hero (SB): $10 (100 bb)
BB: $10.10 (101 bb)
UTG: $10 (100 bb)
MP: $11.44 (114.4 bb)

Preflop: Hero is SB with A K
UTG raises to $0.30, 3 folds, Hero raises to $1.10, BB folds, UTG calls $0.80

Flop: ($2.30) T 6 Q (2 players)
Hero checks, UTG checks

Turn: ($2.30) 2 (2 players)
Hero checks, UTG checks

River: ($2.30) 6 (2 players)
Hero checks, UTG bets $1.10, Hero folds

Villain is unknown.

Pre I prefer 3betting over flatting, even against a UTG raise. In position I think the value of flatting goes up a bit, so I would strongly consider flatting if I would be on the button for example.

As played on the flop I decided not to cbet. Though I do have overcards with a gutshot, I think this board hits him a bit too well. TT+ and AQ+ are probably never folding, so maybe if he calls with 99 he could fold that, or AJ, but I beat AJ anyway.

I then decided to just try and check it down. I wasn't sure if I could really bet anywhere, because I'd probably have to double barrel to get him off weaker showdown value hands?

What's the best line here?

hi

i think you should bet the Flop cos you can barrel Turns anyway and you get to fold out mid pairs with a Flop bet.

A delayed cbet is more suitable for hands with no equity to improve (like 54s) but with AK it's a bet.

Hi mbml,
do you barrel River again if get call with air?
do you think it is a good value line to delayed cbet?
Thanks.

Diamond runouts are great to bluff at. This is also dependent on villain's stats. If you have a sufficiently large sample, you can see his fold to Cbet on Flop/Turn/River.

Many low limit players tend to have a high fold to R cbet but low fold to T cbet and vs such opponents, I'll often fire thrice instead of twice.

It kind of depends on the exact runout and the opponent.

Hi,
I think low limits players have high fold to F Cbet. Do you agree?
If yes, then do you think delay Cbet is great value line assume the Flop is dry and no need to protect against draw.

Are you treating AK as a value hand or a bluff?

I think you can c/c as well, since AK high has showdown value. Delay cbetting serves the least purpose. C/C allows you to showdown, betting allows you to possibly run multi-barrel bluffs to fold better made hands worse than a Queen, or maybe even a Q if the runout is good.

I am not discuss about AK. I am asking which is the better way to get value. I repeat my question. I think low limits players have high fold to F Cbet. So I think delay Cbet is great value line because I think players less likely to fold on Turn compare to Flop. How do you think about it?
Thanks.
