Should I bet AK (or AQ) on the river?

Should I bet AK (or AQ) on the river?

Hi, some help would be much appreciated. Thanks in advance

All-in pre flop is a better option ?
- As played, how should I break my range on the river? Should I still add bluffs (AK) when 50% of my range are bets?

How to study/review/confirm this?

Villain: JJ-TT, 44-33, AsQs-AsTs, AhQh-AhTh, KsJs+, KhJh+, QsJs, QhJh, Th9h

Thanks for your reply. Please see how I see my play after I made a review

Preflop
- 4bet: TT+, AJs+, AKo

Flop
- CB: All

Turn
- CB (All-in): AA-KK
- x back : QQ-TT, AQs+, AKo

River (as played)
- Allin : QQ-TT
- x back : AQs+, AKo

**when you ask what I want to rep at river..you mean If I bet AK?
I would like to rep QQ-TT.. Ι asked if I could add AK..because after reviewing the hand and I saw that x back with AK perhaps is not +EV (not sure for the calculations)

When I go all-in on the river (AK)
* 50% of the time I win 3.87€
* 50% of the time I loose 3.30€
EV: +0.57€

If I check back
33% I win (1,28€)
67% Ι loose (2,59€)
Ev: -1,31€


Our 4b needs to be bigger with sb CC. We can just jam at 100bbs most likely. AK and AQ win enough to check back river.

yep I'd 4b larger vs two opponents and try and induce a shove

Post is just a really bad board to try and bluff a 3/4b cold caller fish off their likely PP. giving us is probably fine
