Re: NL200 6max - AKs OOP vs LAG (missed flop) Even though i actually hate doing it i force myself to cbet and definitely think it's best to cbet this flop purely for metagame. You've 4bet (although deep) so to 4bet then c/f the dry flop is giving opponents way too much license to run over you in the future. At least if you b/f you put villain to a decision and leave your mark in their mind that you might have had a hand or you might have been bluffing so they'll be left guessing about your style a lot more than if you just c/f IMO. The pot's nearly $100 so i'd stick in around $80 at least as it gives you a lot of fold equity and makes it even more so look like you really have a big hand so you fold out a few small PPs, AK as well and you have equity so there's definite value in betting.
