Definitely possible. But what type of player would you put on what?

I am a tourney player and I will not put anyone on anything, because players and tables change. 🤷‍♂️

AK is not the best hand in this scenario... I often see professionals doing exactly like the villain did to you... It is a polarized spot, where he can have all or nothing but he can also thing that he can only win from you doing what he did in the River.

I find my gut instinct is usually right, a least 75% of the time. Sometimes it is a toss up between what my gut says and what my brain tells me, lol. I usually regret when I don't listen to my gut.

You put yourself in a bad spot. When he checked on the river, you should have checked behind…too many hands that beat you.

That wasn't a real hand.
The purpose of the post is to learn how to deal with different types of opponents.
But let's assume I did put myself in that bad spot, should I just give up and fold no matter what kind of player I'm facing?
