But its is not burn money when I call turn and fold river no ace and king? He can still bet again with for example AJ-AQ and ok on six or two we split but he can Has value hands too

If I were you, I would bet 25% on flop, x turn and decide river. Why? In my opinion with this one bet and having a position you will most of the time buy 2 cards very cheaply.

You need to balance your range and mix your range. AA can be in your range. 99x flop. You Bet 9x on flop 99% of the time, but check AA 20% of the time and AK 100% of the time. By checking flop You have both hands in your range. AK never bets turn unimproved so does the AA to balance range. It is still in your range.

Now You call turn both hands and fold AK River 90% of the time. 10% of the time You can check raise all in. Same with AA . There You push 30% of the time River , call with AA 70% of the time. 9x is a push River 100% of the time. This is how to balance range . It is Simple

In position I can't check-raise but I understand what You mean. With AA on the river 99 we have strong hand and our raise all in on the river after check flop and call turn with aces can be paid by worse overpairs.

Again the same thing why I opened the other topic...
Yes they do have tight ranges as well, but the thing on microstakes is:
1. They can overvalue their hands as well. When you check the flop they might think their AT/AQ/AJ/KQ are good enough to bet.
2. Also they will always bet with bad hands when you check to them. All suited connectors/gutshots. Did you see what they do in all my posts....????

Both metioned aspects (overvalue/betting when checked) are also common on micro stakes.

And before you do argue with me, please consider that Im forth man on this topic saying to you you played it wrong. Maybe it is worth to consider...

Ok man so I ask why we call turn if we must fold to bet on the river? Can't do that if other plays better how You write?

Because on turn we do still have better hands, but if he doubles bet we probably not.
About burning money, you think you dont burn money every time we open AK and check fold the low flop?? Why bother then???

Ok so Your point is that he can only one bet bluff turn with worse hand? And what if he bets 2/3 or 3/4 pot size? Still call here and to how many size bet we can call to continue with this hand?

He will do bet hands like JTs/QJs/KQ/suited connectors as bluff. And he will bet AQ/AJ/AT/KQ as a value in his eyes because you checked flop. He believes he has value he wants t protect. In both cases his bet sizing could differ.
We learned in other hand thar we always bet when we have one of the suites. So in this case we have two diamonds on flop so we prefer to check now we dont have one. But we are not checking to fold, but to check call from ranges I mentioned above.
Otherwise with a at least one diamond bet flop for value, check-check the turn, decide river.

In position both plays are fine. Calling one street or fold turn. I dont know the difference in ev. When You check flop AA You need a calling range on turn You would fold on River. I think best play on flop is 1/3 Bet. As played You did not make any mistake.
