2/5 no limit 8 handed $700 effective stack

Only been at the table 30 minutes. My first hand at the table was KK and made a tight fold face up to a flop shove so V may think I’m a nit.

V knows the dealers. Talks like he plays poker quite a bit but so far haven’t seen him play a hand.

OTTH

Hero has A K

V utg raise to $15
Hero raise to $50
Fold around and V calls

Pot $100
Flop T T 6

Check, Hero bets $50, call

Pot $200
Turn A
Check, hero check

I think this check is bad. My thinking at the time was V can have JJ, QQ, KK (maybe), AK, and maybe AQ. Maybe AT but I think he folds that pre.

I’m checking here to keep the pocket pairs in and hopefully get abuse on the river.

Pot $200
River Q
V bets $175
Hero?

Not sure he can have any bluffs here and if we turn read was right most of his hands improve to beat me.

I would check flop a lot. Turn could go either way, check is fine. As played it’s a sigh snap call.

If we think he's a good player who has watched you make a big fold and he's betting a polarized size and you are under repped here which should both encourage him to bluff more as well as possibly value bet more thin. Because of all of that I think you could probably find a call.

Generally I think AK is mostly a fold here though.

Don’t show big folds face up. Now crying call

River is closer to a fist-pump call than crying call, c'mon.

Snap, you invited this ott, now call it off. You are almost at the top of you range, made a big fold faceup, showed weakness on the turn, he has all missed gutshots that are natural bluffs and you have God's blockers. I wouldn't even rule him betting the same/worse hand for value out. You can only fold vs comfirmed omc.

I like the way you played it, but you have to call otr.
If you don't want to find yourself in spots like this, then you should bet turn.
