$5, NLH DBBP, 7-way

Hero has AKo in EP

Flops ($35):

AAKr
732hh

Hero $25, only MP calls

Turns ($85):

8x
4x

Hero $75, MP calls

Rivers ($235):

5x
6x

a) should we target a worse Ax that we scoop against if he doesn’t have A7-A2 with a smaller bet?

OR

b) overbet shove to fold out a chop if he has like 2p on the bottom board?

Also - does anyone prefer an alternate line on flop/turn?

Bet smaller on the flop to keep people drawing on the other board. You've basically funneled yourself into a chop here unless you blast it and he doesn't have a 5.


Bet small flop. 5 or 10. We want everyone in instead of what happened. As played I would just shove river, he’s probably playing the bottom.


Check or bet small on the flop. Size up on turn. Jam river.

I agree with that line.
On the bottom, AK is almost exactly 50% vs a random Ax, so pushing should be the superior play.
