Stacks:
UTG (€57.30)
CO (€33.45)
Hero (€52.75)
SB (€24.62)
BB (€52.50)

Pre-Flop: (€0.75, 5 players) Hero is BTN Ah Kh
UTG raises to €1.50, 1 fold, Hero calls €1.50, 2 folds

Flop: 6h 2d 4d (€3.75, 2 players)
UTG bets €2, Hero calls €2

Turn: 3c (€7.75, 2 players)
UTG bets €4.70, Hero raises to €14.40, UTG calls €9.70

River: 4s (€36.55, 2 players)
UTG checks, Hero checks

villain: 25/19/3/15 (VPIP/PFR/AF/WTS) over 268 hands

Ok spot to bluffraise on the turn? I think I can fold out overpairs very often. And when he calls there is no point in making another bet, right?

Why not raise pf and check back the flop?

Agree the flop is horrible, you are obv way behind an overpair and all you can pray for is a runner runner flush. Flop could even be a fold. If you are floating then you are at best chopping with AK, but could steal if villain checks turn.

I see what you are trying to do on turn, but you are really only repping 55 or 57s (but villain can't give you credit for the latter as you called an UTG raise pf). Seems a bit spewy, and he won't barrell this board unless he thinks he has you beat as you could well be calling with a low pocket pair.

As played, prob check river as as you did as turn bluff didn't work. Just give up.

You should have taken the initiative preflop. By playing AK this way preflop you need to be prepared to through the hand away if the A or K does not hit.

i did just call besause a had position on him, he is a pretty good player and the 3bet will not give me that much infos, all it can do is fold A10and AJ hands, i dont want that to happen.

You played the hand well (although I'd raise the turn a little less to make for a bigger river shove), now shove the river. If he had a straight or a boat he would have bet the river. You can't rep the boat as easily, but you can still rep it and the straight of course. He'll fold more than 40% of the time on average.

Calling pre sometimes is ok especially against tighter villians but you def want to be 3betting AK some of the time (you might not be 3betting enough).
Your line is ok but I'm all for shoving river, people don't fold overpairs so quickly. Some more stats about how much he cbets and how much he folds, your image and stats, would help as well.

Preflop and flop are super standard and fine. As long as you don't go overboard with it turn's fine and river's pretty opponent-dependent I probably ch it as a standard because people station a lot when the FD misses.

I'd probably like, click back pre, click back flop, raise turn or barrel if he checks.

But I'll defer to John A's superior wisdom and agree your pre/flop line is good. :p
