Once he calls the flop, why not just shove the turn? Stack to pot works out.
what’s the point in raising so big OTF? u don’t need a very big size to make anything less than top pair indifferent OTF.
I think X/C is better then shove, could still bluff idk what...
B10 is just weird when its just B35 left
Have to call this river AP.
Versus a reg I would consider shoving pre to punish their weak 4b. Calling is 0ev according to gtow. But calling and not calling down on AxxxK seems like a bigger mistake.
this is a good river for us yes? all-in, sucks to lose.
x/f is a pretty big deviation, for anything other than that I don't think it matters a ton what you pick
As far as I can tell, they'd have to not only be both under 4betting non-AK Ax in general and pure 4betting AKo pre, but also pure calling turn with KK, as well as not bluffing river with QQ-JJ or any other pairs to consider a x/f
So at lower stakes or in weaker pools you could maybe consider a x/f here

Yes I checked afterwards and xf is a big theoretical error but in my simulation:
- Lots of AKo 4B shove pf.
- More than half of KK fold turn.
- The majority of Ax shove river without accomplishing anything because the rake cap has already been reached.
I don't know what it is in reality but XF, which I chose ingame, seems really terrible.
