main question is on the flop.
Villain is leading into my preflop raise of which my ranges consists a decent amount of AKxx from CO although a flat from SB is a fairly strong range as well.
Usually SB is AKxx also, and probably less likely to be KKxx, though another hand we could possibly see take this line is set + flush draw but thats heavily blocked by our hand.
We have top two for redraw freeroll, and we also have backdoor spades, but we also have Ah nut flush draw blocker.
Do you flat here or do you raise flop. By flatting, we may induce another street or triple barrel bluff form KKxx type hands, or a 2nd barrel from K9xx type hands. But the downside is that the board pairing may lose our action if he has AK and our freeroll. On the other hand, there are more heart outs in the deck than boat outs and if we believe he is heavily weighted towards AK given preflop ranges, bluffing hearts might be a better play.
If we flat, do we raise blank turns or continue to flat? I usually lean flat turn but if I flat flop and turn brings a spade draw, i'd lean raise. Thoughts?
