I bet turn here and c/f river (if villian bets big enough)

As played I fold here with a tear in my eye

preflop: villian is limping with a very wide range here, SCs, broadways, Ax, connectors, one gappers, two gappers, and pps.

Flop: you make a c/bet and he calls. He could have SD, FD, A9, KJ, KQ, A8 or trips (although I would think with this board, he would raise with trips). Looks to me like TP, FD, SD or 2nd pair.

Turn: I prolly bet here and see what he does, if he raises, I prolly put him on two pair and let it go.

River: Fold. I don't think he is kidding.

I think you're better off betting the turn instead of c/c. You made your hand and now have what you were representing on the flop. You can fold to a raise and it will make the river easier to play.

Agreed, except I'd probably check the flop and bet the turn... From my experience a player with those kinds of stats dont like to fold to cbets very often. Betting the turn A definitely makes the rest of the hand easier to play.

^^^^This.

Flop is good for a CB because it's K high and obv AK and better is a quite a big part of our range.
Turn is an easy bet because
1) lots of draws out there on the flop
2) we just made TP and villain might still be convinced that something like KQ is good so we bet for value
3) the A is generally a great card for a 2nd barrel, you should also 2nd barrel here a lot with trash or underpairs therefore you def have to fire here if the card indeed helped you.

Thanks for the help.

I try to play a tricky poker, inducing bluffs/trapping, but sometimes i find myself in difficult spots. Maybe i need to play more straightforward out of position...
