$10 NLHE 6-max: How bad did I play this??

Put him on narrow range Slow playing Nuts, possibly same hand AK/AQ or all the underpairs which I was trying to get him to fold.

Should I have CBET then tried to get to showdown once called or if I delayed CBET, do I have to follow through on River

I would cbet that dry board. As played with check on flop not sure should we stab turn and definitely shouldnt stab river... i would bet flop check/fold turn i think, imaybe i would check call turn and rethink if he stab river...
just my 2cents, but cant stand strong behind what i just wrote

Yeah, just c-bet. After you don't c-bet, you can't really rep very much on that turn. I would pretty much never check that flop and then bet that turn. Your hand on the river looks like a busted flush draw, JJ/TT or air.

I would definitely Cbet the flop. When you don't Cbet the flop, it looks like you have either a pair worse than QQ (like JJ for example), or a flush draw, or absolutely nothing. If you would've Cbet the flop, then the villain would fold hands like AK/AJ, but when you check the flop, you give him a chance to bet and make you fold the best hand.

maybe he have A Q , top pair and top kiker

Just cbet/fold. one of the reasons you raise preflop is that you will have the initiative on the flop.. most hands miss flops and if everyone missed often the guy with the initiative wins the pot. If you check here you give away the your lead

In BB, call pre with AKo against UTG range. As played CBet the flop. No reason not to when you raise pre on that board.

Isn't AKo a 3-bet vs any range except maybe OOP vs the nittiest of nits UTG? We don't have that kind of read on him yet, so I'd 3-bet this always.

Maybe I'm a little nitty with AKo : ) Ya you can 3bet AKo as well but against an unknown I'm calling. AKo is at the lower end of the value range because it doesn't have a lot of outs to improve vs even AKs or pairs in the value range of UTG. What happens when we're 4bet? We're either way behind or kinda sorta behind? Just my opinion. But then I don't like AKo.

I'd 3bet against MP in BB though for sure!
