    First bad board to cbet, 3 way pot, that board smashes their ranges

    Half pot bets are just letting people draw to you with relative good odds+implied odds

    c/f flop and there are so many Ax, two pair, sets, str8s etc on this board you're beat here 95% of the time

    I would tell you I have free videos that outline a lot of this but then p5's would get mad at me and ban me...sighhh

    I call just because im getting more then 4:1 on river with top pair top kicker, though your not beating anything that sshould raise you there, but if hes stupid LAG it could be a bluff of some sort.

    I raise a bit more on flop, then depending on my read of his play style, check call to river with my paired AK on turn. But if you think he is drawing, then you played it perfectly and the river is a bit scary but you have to call it with your hand and the odds you are being offered. He could be trying to represent anything there.
