Any ideas of how to make the hand easy to play? Should i just call pre? Thoughts on flop and turn would be nice....

this is a good board to triple barrel here, or c/f flop against a 100bb stack. firing 1 street is burning $ against a 1/2 stack or a full satck

c/f flop looks good.

as played you likely have 10 outs given the turn card, so shoving turn is prob ok given stack sizes (too lazy to do math), and you also have some fold equity so i imagine shoving turn is fine.

prob just c/f flop, as played, c/f turn...3b pre is fine, cc pre is viable as well.

most people make the mistake of overplaying their AK in this spot. In a 3-bet pot, this is a terrible board. TefillinVillain is correct when he says all pairs are calling here. More hands in his pre-flop range such as 88, 99, 10, JJ, QQ will be calling here and even calling a double barrel. These same hands would probably be folding if the board came up Axx or Kxx.

So a c/f here is reasonable unless villian is very very weak post-flop in 3-bet pots (ie. maybe has an extremely high FoldToCbet3BetPot statistic)

if you bet the flop jam the turn. you have some fold equity, though likely little, but enough to justify the shove given you likely have 10 outs.

Assuming stacks are 100BB

c/f flop > triple barreling >>>>>>>>>> double barreling > c-betting only

With 50BB stacks

c/f flop > c-betting/jamming turn >>>>>>> c-betting only

What if we open jam flop?

We should be getting a hand like AQ to call every so often and we still have 10 outs when he has a pair
