I have a question about bluff frequencies. Are most weaker live players going to bluff 3 streets with say AK or any drawing hand post flop as the PFR if they are OOP? I would imagine they might check back a lot of boards then don't hit on flop or turn if they have position on you.
No. They'll bet flop (something fairly small to "see where they're at"), check/fold from there, and then mutter something under their breath about how they never win with AK, and how stupid it is to play it like it's a good hand. Note - however, if they pick up some sort of gutshot, they may call the turn. Also, TT and JJ also can involve such a line - bet pre, bet on flop then checking turn, so don't automatically assume it's AK.
Smile, nod, and agree with them. If you need to see a pro do this, watch Esfandari listen to Phil Ruffin joke about how AK is named Anna Kournikova because it looks good but never wins, and how he laughs as if he has never heard that joke before.
