but then questions:
1) aint we folding too often if we fold OTT??
Because we might often Bet flop check turn...? or x/c x/c?
2) Any reason to Bet flop B/F turn and X/F river??
3)?what if Turn was a blank? ie 2c
then river 3h
4) what if river was blank and we called turn?
5) on such wet board, ok he bets 590k we might call 10% of time - while if he bets 100 we might call 90%? what are reasons for vilain to bet 590
1)Not necessarily. First of all its important to know if you log alot of hours against this villain- cause if you do, adjustments is more important in those sorts of spots to avoid being (possibly exploited) in the future from him. If he is somebody you rarely play with these spots will come up so infrequently versus him that i woudnt worry about it at all.
Main reason is just that we recognize this board is not the best for AK when our villain wants to stackoff. I mean, its not likely that he is exploiting you in this particular spot on this particular board runout: its most likely that he just have a nutted hand this time.
If you feel your range is getting to check-call heavy on the turn/river though, then you can always mix in some more nutted hands into that line, for example do the same thing with set of A or set of Q.
2) I believe check it over to him on one of the worst cards in the deck is the best play in this spot, so no i dont see much merit for continue betting on this turncard. If the turn is a brick like an offsuit 2 or 3, sure then its another ballpark.
3) If we call turn and river comes a brick it comes down to try and range him correctly, observe his betsize and those kind of things. Play poker.
4/5- I believe villain thinks you have a hand that you can stackoff with on this board (for example the hand you have), and he is going for max value. Maybe you two dont know each other that well= he gives you an opportunity to make a big callingmistake on the river. You may interpret the big riverbet as a bluff from his perspective-wich makes it more likely that you can do a calling mistake.
Just my few cents man.
