2/5 NL, 600$ Effective
Preflop
3 Limps
BTTN (Young weekend warrior, not great) makes it 35
Hero in the SB looks down at A
K
I make it 125
BB is an out of town loose player, 6 glasses of wine deep, he is not insane or reckless but he is by no means tight cold calls for 125
Everyone folds besides the BTTN who calls.
Flop Pot: 390$

Back to me
Analysis: I simply can't come up with much value he has here
I find it very hard to believe that this out of towner who was loose would check a flush draw, QQ, JJ, 1010 TWICE and then bet the river
Bluffs: A
QX, A
JX
The AJ off is less likely but AQ certainly seems reasonable as a bluff candidate
There are not many SUPER likely bluffs quite honestly but atleast I have some that make reasonable sense compared to his value where I only have 99 for quads or a really weird hand.
Anyways, 200 to win 590, I make the call with AK
He shows 99 for quads gg
