AK 3bet pot vs calling station

Board is dry and you should cbet.
As played you can xc.

I have feeling he will call often, and i wil have to check/fold on all 2-9 turns. And continue to barell on T, Q ,A or K.

Probobly leveling myself becouse i'm on small downswing, CBET might be best play.

X/C is bad. It's not good to bluff catch with AK when flop doesnt help us. Fold is ok. But i dont like the way you play this hand OTF. You should bet. Board is dry and you have some bd draws. And as you say keep barrel on AKQT turns. Stop with the feelings. Poker is a game of people not feelings.

I know you asked for postflop but shouldn't you be raising bigger since you are OOP & he is a calling station.

Also considering you said he is a station , is he the kind that will try to steal if you check to him after you cbet or will just check it down if you bet bet check ? Cause if it is the latter isnt AK becoming a value cbet

I use pokerstars hotkeys for all actions, so i have button for 9bb raise, i rearly use mouse. I play 4 zoom tables so not much info on oponent i just sow 3bet fold, and cbet fold stats, and sow he dont like to fold.

@LuckyLucianooo When you have long losing sesion not easy to not get affected with emotions.

We don't have to 3bet this hand preflop, especially if he doesn't fold to 3bets and is not loose with opens. As played, flop could be a cbet, but we have just overcards and a weak backdoor, so I think we can even check/fold, but check/calling is also an option, but then should plan to give up without a pair OTT.

Well shuldnt we 3bet and try to get more money in, becouse AK is ahead of his wide 3bet calling range.

Because villain is a calling station we don't need to 3-bet preflop imo.

If he is a calling station you can't make him fold in case you don't hit and you will be paid off in case you hit. So you can just call preflop and start betting in case you hit.

Imo we shuld bet while we are ahead of his calling range. Bigger pot we get more value from our hand

He is playing 21/17, so might be considered as a tight(itsh) player and his position is MP, which means that his open range is quite tight. So even though he doesn't fold to 3bets alot (in reality, we can't be so sure in just 136 hands), his calling range is still strong and our AK is not that much ahead. He also doesn't fold to flop cbets alot, which will make our life pretty hard postflop because we won't hit very often and don't have fold equity + we will be OOP postflop in a big pot. All that combined, I like calling preflop more than 3betting.

xc at least but i prefer cbetting
