If you're calling turn, you're calling river I suppose.

Weird hand. I wouldn't be surprised if KQ showed up against AK, but I think thats the same amount of combinations as AK has, so its really difficult to put you on the losing end of the hand. Wish you raised your button with AK..

very weird line... villain look strong here, I don't think any K will take this line.
I would have 3bet flop and bet bet bet here.

as played, called... and villain vill show sets here most of the time.

Tendencies on how often V has been limping, his sizing, and how experienced he appears to be are very important to ranging him pre-flop here; however in the absence of these important reads I'll do what I can...

We should 3B pre-flop given we're facing a non-ridiculously sized CO open and we're in position; probably sized to about $35. Most live players don't like to fold AJ/AQ/KQ type hands pre-flop after they've opened so we can easily extract value from these dominated hands which can very often just give-up post-flop if they miss.

Additionally, if we get 4B it's an easy fold and prevents us from getting value-owned by KK/AA post-flop if an A or K hits.

As played, I don't really like the flop raise. Most live players don't open KJ, and a lot don't even open KQ, and very often they're folding 66-QQ type hands to a raise on this board. Raising here simply folds out hands we can get value from on later streets, whilst giving away money to hands which have us crushed. Also, given that we hold the Ac, there's no real flush draws he can hold here either except maybe KXcc, which is KQcc most of the time.

On the turn his lead pretty much always means he has Kx+, and honestly from the sizing I suspect his hand hasn't improved either. I think his most likely range here is AK and AA (which has us crushed obviously). There's a non-zero chance that this is a flopped set or KQ, with KJ and QQ being very small possibilities (practically negligible).

Turn is a fold since I doubt we're ever really ahead there against this line.

The river sizing suggests that he has almost exactly AA, since he now beats KQ, and as such it's also a fold.

I don't mind the flat pre, but I'm also flatting the flop. Raising the flop folds out weaker K's. Also allows him to keep the initiative and make playing subsequent streets easier plus disguises your strength.

The issue with the raise on the flop is now we are getting committed with a semi-low hand in a bloated pot. I feel like we have to just call and hold on now. If we are getting more aggression on river we are most likely beat.

3bet pre.

Crying call river I guess, but he's probably got KQ or better.
