2/5 nl

Hero new to table/ no reads

Hero ($550 effective) opens to 25 UTG with AKo

MP (~30 year old white male wearing lots of gold jewelry) calls, Button calls, and sb calls.

Flop J33 ($100)

Sb checks. Hero bets 40. MP calls.

Turn K ($180) complete the rainbow.
Check, check.

River 7. Board is now J33K7

Hero bets 85.

Villain makes is 350 after about 30 seconds.

Hero?

Looking for suggestions on all streets, thanks!

I would just check back the flop, but I don't think betting and with that sizing is particularly bad.

The turn is a bet every single time. I'd go $90 on this turn. Seriously, never check this turn.

River - snap call.

I might check flop or bet a little bigger. Definitely betting the turn.

Vs. an unknown on the river, it's a soul-read. I can't fault folding or calling, but my default at this point is fold and try to goad him into showing.

I like your play on both flop and turn, I would go a little bigger on the river like $125.

AP your small bet on the river might induce some bluffs, but I lean towards folding.

OOP with 2 other players and a SB I would check the flop/ bet more when I’m IP.

Such a dry flop we can get away with betting like 25-30 if we do choose to bet

I bet 120 on turn

Flop is a definitive check with 4 players.
I would assume you’re behind here, but against this “type” calling off probably is fine.

This probably comes down to a live read for me. V is gonna have to be a pretty savvy player to be bluffing here. The only bluffs that make sense to me are Jx and smaller pairs that realize they are no longer good when you bet river. But most players aren’t skilled enough to turn these into a bluff. I’m probably laying this down unless I get the impression this V is trying to be creative.

That’s what I was thinking, I’m not sure if I should always be stacking off here, and idk why I couldn’t put him on a 3.

I call and V turns over 33 for flopped quads. Rekt
