$20 NL HE Full Ring: AK Two Pair Turn Bet Size

Villian Stats (VPIP/PFR/AF): 93/50/2

Saple is small only 30 hands here, are we betting or check raising or check calling which I dont think is an option. If we bet how big is our bet size?

We're betting to get value, charge draws and build the pot with the intention of getting it in on the river barring a T/Q/club/possibly a jack.

We've got $25-1-2.5 which is $21.5 effective and $8.25 in the pot. If we bet $7 that leaves us with $14.5 left on a ($7+7+8.25 =) $22.25 river, perfect for a shove.

So $7-$6 looks good.

What Chuck said. All great reasons to bet, not really any reason to check. When you're trying to get your stack in, choose a turn bet size that sets up a river shove that gives villain nice odds to call. Chuck's line looks good.

Check/fold or bet/fold ?

on Q river, i bet about half pot, since there are soo few tens in his range, and his vp is 93 so hell look up half pot bets with a lot worse

Well that's not horrible assuming you bet enough on the turn to make it less than a pot sized bet. He's really bad and will look you up almost with the same range vs a half pot bet than vs a shove.

I like a pot sized bet on this turn. He is'nt folding his draws or Ax hands and it'll make it harder for him to get away from this on the river.
