Have two AKo that I was kinda wondering about, felt they were ok but I thought Ide check with you guys
First one is against a laggy player, 36/27/2.02af over 215 hands. the turn would open up for some raises but i still have alot of outs if he were to raise and he might also semibluff with some draws at this point so i didnt feel betting again opened up for that much trouble, and when the 5 comes on the river and he hasnt made a move on any street so far I kinda put him on Ax so I went for a vbet.

The second hand is also against a laggy player, but I only had ~30 hands on him so stats doesnt count for much. Think he played the hand really weird. Don't know why he caps the hand, but Ive seen people do it more and more, makes their range really narrow. So when he checks the turn it pretty much seems like the only hands left in his range are Ax unless he went nuts with some low pp, but even that doesnt make sense, so I go for two streets of value. I can kinda understand if he wants to induce bluffs and not risk getting turn raised perhaps, but my range is pretty much the same on the turn as it is on the flop since I wont fold that many hand in a pot this big on such a nothing flop, so I think he should barrel one more there, especially since he doesnt have any diamonds...
