Not sure how much games have changed over the years but I'm fine to get in AK pre flop, don't think calling that much is great and we block KK/AA.

Come the river, I think the hand is a fold, we don't beat much, and all the hands for value/bluffs they 3bet you with have made sets, two pairs and even straights. X-f river looks best imo, can't see a single worse hand calling the river bet.

I am stacking of from mp and utg when 100 bb deep only with AA and KK and 4bet fold with QKo and A5s. when i move to NL100, i am planing to stack of with QQ+ and AK.

Pre: When the BB calls here I would be an advocate of just 4betting it and getting it in. The pot is already substantial and taking it down pre is a fine result, if we get it in flipping then we have the extra dead money padding the pot for us.

Flop: Checking to the raiser here seems fine but donking is an option.

Turn: Betting here is mandatory now and I like your sizing.

River: I don't like bet folding here at all, I would be check deciding here. The runout is pretty grim for us, there are a decent number of two pair+ combos out there and getting value from single pair hands on this board seems ambitious at best.

Opening from UTG or MP I'm not looking to stack off without reads that it's clearly +EV. Even calling isn't a great spot being OOP multiway with an offsuit unpaired hand, good odds or not.

Turn bet looks good, but on that river I'm check folding. Too many sets and 2 pairs that make sense for him.
