Hello everyone, my friend and I got in a discussion over a hand I've played yesterday and I'd like to know your opinions about it. It's a NL5 zoom 6max hand.
So I'm on the button with AK, facing a bet from UTG for 3 bb's, I decide to just flat call because of me running really bad lately and trying to slowplay the real strength of my hand. We're the only 2 left in the pot and flop comes: x3x
Villain decides to cbet half the pot, I decide to call because he would be cbetting a wide range of hands here and I still have some equity with my hand to evaluate the turn.
Turn comes: A
Villain decides to bet for again 3/4 the pot, I decide to call, with the thought process that he's using this A as a scare card, or he actually has hit his A, but I think I'm still in front with my top kicker.
River comes: total brick
Villain does a pot bet, I call, villain shows 33.
I lost the hand to a set, but my question is here if I played my hand correctly on the river? Because in my mind, he would've been betting there with AJ+ also, so I could only lose on the river against a set or 2 pair, but with a raise UTG two pair felt unlikely and a set is only a 1 in 8 chance he would have hit that one the flop. He obviously did have a set now, but I think that's just the top of his range at that moment.
My friend claims I should've folded the river bet, because I only had TPTK and faced agression on all streets.
In my opinion villain couldn't know I had AK and would have cbetted the flop and turn even with total air because of the dynamic of the hand. It's just the river bet which makes me question the way I played.
What would you have done in this situation on the river? Fold, call or even a raise?
