how aggro is he and is he willing to slow down if you check given that you will c/c a lot here if you do? or is he pedal to the metal type of player who will bet everything when checked to? i think i start of by checking.

Imo checking here is the best plöay, becasue he should now and i think would bet whole range excluding JJ/QQ imo.

Pretty odd bet by him on the turn. Based upon his betsizing, it seem if we are calling this turn expecting him betting his whole range, then most rivers we can't be folding imo. Frankly though, I think if we aren't already beat, at least most of his range that would bet this amount, AK's equity isn't exactly stellar. I would have much preferred to lead this turn myself for approx 300-350 as this would be a failrly sick board for villian to c/shove, c/3bet turn on us.

If we really assume he'd lead close to 95% of his range on this turn, what range do you assume he'd also lead river with given your line? What percent of this range do you also expect to beat?

Interesting hand btw.

Leading makes this hand a lot easier to play, but imo it`s not the most +EV play.
By leading Vilain can`t make an error, unless he calls with AJ+ and checks river behind

c/r is the best way to minimze EV in this hand imo

you beat 22-77 .....

I'd rather lead turn, and if I'm checking it's probably to fold :/

also 3bet to 8bb pre flop when someone min raise from button imo
